Bug#1024222: celluloid: please change recommends from youtube-dl to yt-dlp (or drop it completely)



Package: celluloid
Version: 0.20-2
Severity: normal

We are planning for the youtube-dl package to become an empty package that simply depends on yt-dlp (see https://bugs.debian.org/994151 ). Your package has a "Recommends: youtube-dl". However, in looking through the source code, I don't see anything actually calling out to youtube-dl directly. I suspect that (since this package is a frontend for mpv) mpv is instead calling youtube-dl. Newer versions of mpv are aware of, recommend, and will prefer to use yt-dlp.

Please test your package with yt-dlp and update the Recommends to replace "youtube-dl" with "yt-dlp" once you've verified that it works as intended.

Thanks,
Andres
