I think I've checked everything. Sorry if I've missed something obvious.

Description

I got this message this evening. I was able to download a different video today, but not this one.

When I upgrade with pip I see this:

Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple Requirement already up-to-date: youtube_dl in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (2019.9.12.1)

Any reason why I'm not seeing the right version in the output?

[dstftw]

Most likely you have multiple versions installed.

I upgraded with pip, then pip3, then apt-get... Is there an easy way of purging it and then reinstalling?

[manyoyo-co]

Thank you, @dstftw -- I got it working again.
