I've noticed in the log file for cvdupdate.py the following:

2024-11-17 11:28:57 PM - DEBUG:  Checking for a newer version of cvdupdate.
2024-11-17 11:28:58 PM - WARNING:  You are running cvdupdate version: 1.1.2.
2024-11-17 11:28:58 PM - WARNING:  There is a newer version on PyPI: requirement:'cvdupdate==random':Expectedendorsemicolon(afternameandnovalidversionspecifier. Please update!

The method used in cvdupdate.py to check the installed and latest versions of cvdupdate use the method suggested in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58648739/how-to-check-if-python-package-is-latest-version-programmatically no longer works with versions of pip 24.1b1 onwards.

This is documented in pypa/pip#12852

An alternative could be to use pip index versions cvdupdate and parse the result.
