I've found that the youtube-dl in repos (whether Debian or Ubuntu) is
*always* horribly out-of-date.  I just installed my copy from git:

  mkdir ~/bin
  cd ~/bin
  git clone https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl.git
  echo export PATH=$HOME/bin/youtube-dl:$PATH >> .bashrc

then whenever things break, my first line of defense is

  cd ~/bin
  git pull
  git reset --hard HEAD

which seems to get me what I need.

Youtube changes their stuff frequently enough in ways that break
youtube-dl that this is the only program I run directly from source.
