All I wanted is to install the current yt-dlp (2024.07.16-1) on debian 12.6.

Suggested way to that according to https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/yt-dlp/download is to add that line to that file (etc/apt/sources.list), but do I really need to download the 1600 files that upgrade would entail?

I don’t want to download the tar.gz 'cause upgrading that would be a pain.

    this is the way. easy. no install. no extra steps. update when you want.

    or you can add the ppa that’s listed in the yt-dlp install instructions (scroll down to third-party package managers > apt) and use apt to install it like any other package.
