I clicked on ¨Reload" to reload the package listings and searched for yt-dlp.
The installed and latest versions are both given as 2023.03.04-1 .
How do you get to the bookworm-backports ?
Packages from backports are pinned with low priority (100) and never
installed by default. So in order to install a backported package, you
need to do it like:
apt install yt-dlp/bookworm-backports
Not sure how to do it in Synaptic.
In Synaptic go to "Settings" - 'Preferences" - "Distributions"
then select "Prefer Versions From" - backports
