The latest version of youtube-dl , makes it too old to try to use now; if
you can get it working with youtube, good luck to you.

An unmaintained package, that is three years since last updated, for
accessing web sites on the World Wide Web?

Hmmmm.....

The youtube-dl package in Debian 12 is a transitional package which
brings in yt-dlp (version 2023.03.04-1 currently).

Whether that's too old to be usable is a good question, but it's
definitely not "three years since last updated".

- the changelog showing youtube-dl to have been last updated 2021.12.17

so, it is only two years and four months ; 28 months, and, not 36 months, since it was last updated.

My error.

I wonder how many people would be happy using Debian Linux, if it was not updated for 28 months?
