Running ‘yt-dlp --version’ gives me 2024.08.06, although there are many version between this and the latest 2025.01.26 version: Releases · yt-dlp/yt-dlp · GitHub
One of those releases is needed to use OAuth2.
‘apt list --upgradable’ gives me nothing.
Edit: Performed a ‘dietpi-software reinstall 195’, which fixed the issue.
This is expected behavior as yt-dl is simply downloaded from GitHub. It is not a Debian package that is installed via apt.
this is the way
This is not an issue but works as expected.
Can’t you integrate an automated ‘dietpi-software reinstall x’ for software that installs via other package sources?
No, we probably won’t do that, as it would be a huge effort to automatically check each of the more than 200 software titles on a regular basis. Unfortunately, we are only a very small team with one main developer.
I wasn’t talking about checking anything. Just do a ‘dietpi-software reinstall x’ for all packages that are installed when a certain command is issued.
maybe apt upgrade?
apt is Debian package manager and has nothing to do with DietPi scripts.
dietpi-update?
As already written, we do not currently have the capacity to fully implement something like this. It should be no problem to run dietpi-software reinstall x manually if required.
You can’t iterate installed software in a loop
dietpi-software list | grep ' =2'
and execute
dietpi-software reinstall x? 
(And I’m sure there are better ways to do it)
All installed software is in the file /boot/dietpi/.installed. However, a distinction must be made there as to which software must be updated and how. This varies from app to app. Some use Debian Package Manager apt, others have a built-in update function via Web UI and still others require a reinstall.
And this information is hard coded to the install-script?
Honestly I`m not sure what you are looking for. You are free to have a look into the installation script and to create your own solution to update your software apps automatically.
