To clarify, 'apt update' updates the repository to see if upgrades are available. 'apt upgrade' installs any available upgrades.

In the comment you refer to, I suggested running both commands because you had already installed youtube-viewer and I wasn't sure if it was the latest version. Here, ran 'apt-update' before installing youtube-viewer, so it was already the latest version.

Running 'apt upgrade' installs all upgrades for programs you have installed, not just youtube-viewer, which is why you might get message related to other upgrades, like the grub config file.

youtube-viewer has some recommended and suggested packages. It's generally not a good idea to install all of them because you might end with a bunch of crap you don't need, but it's possible that I have one installed that you don't and that is why it works for me and not you, so let's install the ones I have installed and see if that helps.
