To be honest, I believe installing yt-dlp from a distro repository is pointless, on any distro. I don’t get why distros even want to include it in their repositories, because it is such a movable target.

Indeed, this isn't just a Debian/Devuan issue. Virtually every distro has this problem with a subset of its packages.

For something updated as frequently as yt-dlp (or ffmpeg, in my case), I've resorted to using the nightlies when I'm pressed. Even Sid isn't going to be cutting-edge 100% of the time.

@greenjeans, you mean it used to be part of the big, monolithic FW packages? Looks like it's still in non-free firmware to me for excalibur:

us.deb.devuan.org/merged/pool/DEBIAN/non-free-firmware/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-mediatek_20250410-2_all.deb

I resorted to running Grafana in Docker, which I suppose trades one evil empire for another but I digress.
