I'm not sure what happened, but after this last batch of updates last night, that included openssl and netpbm and some others, ffmpeg I think... anyway, after building those, youtube-dl was able to build (have a script to automate, just assumed it would fail again, it did not, but I have no logs). Was this fixed or was it my installation all along? idk, but youtube-dl no longer shows up as outdated.
