Debian friends - Bug #1069424 yosys: FTBFS on armhf appears to be documentation-related, and found in version yosys/0.33-5. I note that there is a changelog item for yosys-0.40: Major documentation overhaul. It would make sense to try updating to that version -- or 0.44, as noted on the Debian

Bug#696844: patch is valid

I reviewed the pmw-4.24 code, and Thorsten Glaser's patch. His analysis and patch is correct. After the patch, the code is correct even in the presence of ASLR. At least every Debian system, and probably every POSIX system, will unmap page zero to make sure null pointer dereferences are trapped.

To me, youtube-dl is the epitome of a package that belongs in volatile. Putting it in stable invites bugs like this. I have no idea if it can be switched to etch-volatile at this time. Personally, I run a copy built from upstream source. Its build requirements and resource needs are trivial.
