the distribution provided youtube-dl is always seriously outdated, but it's important to be able to use the latest.
An easy way of installing youtube-dl is with pip. It will be the latest and installed in /usr/local . youtube-dl can be used by other apps, at least one of them is mpv.

So for youtube-dl and mpv and maybe other apps that depend on youtube-dl ,add:

noblacklist /usr/local/lib/python2*
noblacklist /usr/local/lib/python3*
