  At last, I fixed everything just by loadind the last version of youtube-dl from the
  yt-dl site
      wget https://yt-dl.org/latest/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

after that,  I can do either
    youtube-dl --no-playlist  'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQd1IOyhKS4&list=RDEMlHFFKeq-aYlBhg-LtJ-SHw&start_radio=1'
    or
   youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQd1IOyhKS4 
both give exactly the same result.

My question is why the Debian version so obsolte ans uneliable?
