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.

    In best scenario you’ll turn your Debian to SID. Worst case scenario you’ll break your system.

    I do not suggest this operation unless you’re sure what you’re doing.

    Alternatively you can install yt-dlp using snap or using Nix Package manager
