Bug#1024228: liquidsoap: please change suggests from youtube-dl to yt-dlp



Package: src:liquidsoap
Version: 2.0.6-1
Severity: normal

We are planning to remove the youtube-dl package in the next Debian release, as upstream development had issues and has stagnated (see https://bugs.debian.org/994151 ). The upstream package was forked, and active development now happens in yt-dlp (which is an almost* drop-in replacement for youtube-dl). Your package has a "Suggests: youtube-dl". Please test your package with yt-dlp and update the suggests to replace "youtube-dl" with "yt-dlp" once you've verified that it works correctly with your package.

Thanks,
Andres

* When yt-dlp is supplied the "--compat-options" option, it will revert to youtube-dl compatibility for command-line arguments. See the yt-dlp man page for more details.
