You are correct of course.  I thought I was running 64 bit but I was wrong.

fred@ragnok:~$ uname -a
Linux ragnok 4.19.0-12-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.19.152-1 (2020-10-18) 
i686 GNU/Linux

I have abandoned trying to run the 64 bit clipgrab binary blob. 
youtube-dl is working now and I plan to install the 64 bit version of 
Devuan when I have time.

Best regards,
Fred
