Package: youtube-dl
Version: 2019.01.17-1.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Download of some YT-videos is not possible due to ERROR: Signature
extraction failed.
Videos are not named correctly due to Warning: Unable to extract video
file
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
Wanted to download YT-video such as "youtube-dl --verbose
https://youtu.be/RGRUzz_ieiE";.
Other videos such as youtube-dl --verbose https://youtu.be/_mVW8tgGY_w
do work but are not named correctly due to above warning.
Did only try package from stable/buster, don't want to break my system
by trying stuff I don't understand.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Videos did not download or downloaded not named correctly. See log
below.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Download of videos named correctly.
