It's not really a bug, more a workaround for projects that haven't switched yet. I thought it makes sense to let the ebuild add the symlink since yt-dlp and youtube-dl can't be installed at the same time. But ionen mentioned in the other reply¹, that > While the "youtube-dl" command from the yt-dlp ebuild is mostly > compatible, the python module can need small workarounds so opted > not to symlink the module in the ebuild. So it seems to be not such a good idea. 😊 ¹ <https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/message/c76c383b9ff73e7c9cd48f76bad4f752> -- Get my PGP key with `gpg --locate-keys [email protected]` or at <https://tastytea.de/tastytea.asc>.
