yt-dlp in excalibur-backports

Hello. I'm inquiring about the status of yt-dlp in excalibur-backports.

Debian pushed yt-dlp 2026.06.09 to stable-backports on 2026-06-12:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/yt-dlp

In Devuan, the package is present in Ceres and Freia:
https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/poli … e&q=yt-dlp

However, it has not yet appeared in excalibur-backports.
Is there an update to excalibur-backports planned or are there blockers preventing it?
Thanks.

Re: yt-dlp in excalibur-backports

excalibur-backports tracks trixie-backports. Any delay should be no more than a couple hours. Are you sure it's really in trixie-backports? Searching at packages.debian.org still shows 2026.03.17-1~bpo13+1 in trixie-backports.

Regardless of that, any updates will likely be too late. I just copy the yt-dlp script to my user's bin/ so I don't have to be root to update it, and I update it whenever I use it. (run: yt-dlp -U)
