Hi,

I get this error when trying to download videos from youtube. Updating the
package to 2019.06.08 fixes the issue.

Cheers,

Dear Maintainer,

This bug still affects the version in stable. The patch to fix it is
tiny; would you consider backporting it?

The attached debdiff fixes this bug and one other annoying issue. I
prepared and tested it on a stable system. I would be happy to handle
the paperwork for a stable update if you would be willing to sponsor the
actual upload.
