I believe the issue is that yt-dlp just keeps playing catch-up with whatever
breaking changes in the Youtube API, so you should be expecting to always be
using its latest version at any point in the future. That's very much
incompatible with the standard way of packaging in Debian or Ubuntu, whereby
the underlying package version is frozen.

As an alternative, I wonder whether the KDE neon user repository could provide
its own updates to the yt-dlp package, instead of relying on the Ubuntu one?
