youtubedl-gui is available as a flatpak which is likely newer than the deb package. . . ( I didn't verify, but on things I want more up to date, I regularly use flatpak for them - IE firefox for instance.)
If you already have flatpak that may be an option. Bit of overkill to install the whole flatpak runtime when it is just a 2.3MB file you want to run. Flatpak is a second-last alternative and I avoid it and have never needed it in Debian. Absolute last option is snap which is akin to a virus IMO.
Most of my software is flatpak. My laptop currently is solid Debian base, more up to date on the packages that matter.I miss the AUR more than anything though and the number one reason Arch is still my forever home. My desktop has been Fedora for quite a while now. I'd rather set my computer on fire and throw it into traffic than to ever put snaps on it though. No question. It's malware of the highest degree. Ubuntusoft needs to go away.
