I've tried a different sources even retried installing.
Which version of Trisquel is this? I have yt-dlp installed on nabia from backports repository.
Thanks for pointing to this. I did not realize that yt-dlp is in fact a fork of youtube-dl (and not just the package name).
And to add grace to joy, it is also available as a backport in Aramo.

Because you haven't been paying close enough attention to all the pearls of wisdom in the Troll Lounge: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/youtube-dl-slow-yt-dlp-fast-replacement
You are always here in the Trisquel Users forum, like an elitist, on your high horse, looking down your nose at our Troll Lounge brilliance.
Technically, I was not born yet. I am still a young user here, you know, riding my shetland pony here and there. So many things to learn. Else, I must have been busy editing the lost codex of Archimedes.
Both threads remind us that loldier has been silent for months now, which is sad. We strongly suspect you kidnapped yet another knowledgeable user in order to boost hyperbola.
>"Technically, I was not born yet."
Well, I do hope you took the time to read through that thread, some good advice in there. One of the cool things about Libre-antiX Respin is that it uses yt-dlp by default in place of youtube-dl (like its parent).
Yes, there is some good security advice about handling 4MB platters.

Thanks, I did stumble upon that after posting and need to take a closer look at it ;) Ive just reverted back to 9 to see if I can install it under that and then dist upgrade to 10 with youtube-dl in a working state. I see the repo seems to be turned off. Thanks for the heads-up I'll check out yt-dlp ;)
I have the same issue with Youtube-dl

It says that you may see the light at the end of the tube if you uncomment the backports line in /etc/apt/sources.list and install yt-dlp. Alternatively, you could upgrade to Trisquel 11 Aramo and instantly reach full tubular enlightenment.
