The new youtube-dl dummy package has now been uploaded to unstable.
However,
I'm not raising the severity on this bug because youtube-dl is only
used if
mkchromecast is called with '-y <url>'. So that will now be broken
until you
switch to yt-dlp, but mkchromecast appears usable without that
functionality.
It looks like it calls "youtube-dl -o - <url>", which should work
with a
simple replacement to "yt-dlp -o - <url>".
The fix will then also require backporting to bookworm,
due to the youtube-dl dummy package not providing a wrapper.
No, it won't. See the above comment about how it only calls youtube-dl
if supplied with the -y argument, and therefore is perfectly usable
without youtube-dl. Unless the release team and maintainer feel
otherwise and want to see it fixed in a point release, it doesn't
really rise to the level of release-critical for bookworm.
