Package: gpodder
Version: 3.11.0-2
Severity: normal

We are planning for the youtube-dl package to become an empty package that simply depends on yt-dlp (see https://bugs.debian.org/994151 ). Your package has a "Suggests: youtube-dl". However, in looking through the source code, I can see that it also supports (and prefers) yt-dlp.

gpodder-3.11.0/share/gpodder/extensions/youtube-dl.py:

try:
   import yt_dlp as youtube_dl
except:
   import youtube_dl
[...]
__description__ = _('Manage YouTube subscriptions using youtube-dl (pip install youtube_dl) or yt-dlp (pip install yt-dlp)')


Please test your package with yt-dlp and update the Suggests to replace "youtube-dl" with "yt-dlp" once you've verified that it works as intended.

Thanks,
Andres
