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
