(it's not only youtube that's broken but also others..)
For the 2nd time in 2 months today I have installed a local backport of
youtube-dl on my machine (and soon will do the same at friends...) so by
now I'm also pretty close to upload youtube 2018.09.10-1~bpo9+1 to
stretch-backports to solve this (better) for "me" (and others) but then
I really do believe this should be fixed by uploading
2018.09.10-1~deb9u1 to stable(-updates).
what's your stance on this?
I'm happy to prepare uploads to either if that helps. (and a proper bug
if the stable updates route is chosen.)
