For this particular package, I don't follow any of the rules. I normally go to Debian's Packages webpage and download (with wget) the latest I can find, typically trixie's at this time. Today that page appears to be down, so I just headed to the pool and fished the link from: http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/y/yt-dlp/ I installed it with: # apt -s install /home/debian/trixie/yt-dlp_2025.01.26-1_all.deb to check the dependencies (this is on bullseye), then deleted the -s. As it's the only "pseudo-backport" I use, it saves a lot of hassle with the sources list etc, installing it in this way. Cheers, David.
