Bug report

The latest .deb on the Ubuntu ppa for xenial is not working. I assure you that twodict is installed and working. I tried both using the source and pip install. I am not sure if this is something I should report here though.

sudo dpkg -i youtube-dlg_0.4-1-webupd8-xenial4_all.deb

What operating system do you use?

List of actions to perform to reproduce the problem:

1. Download the .deb file from the ppa link
2. run sudo dpkg -i
3. Install the dependency it asks for (twodict) once with pip and again from source and try again

What is the expected behavior?

should install normally when twodict is installed.

What happens instead?

It doesn't install and says twodict isn't installed

What operating system do you use?

Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial

Not sure if this is Ubuntu's fault or a mistake in the .deb file.

Hi @RustyRaptor the Ubuntu PPA is maintained by @hotice (owner of the webupd8.org website) and is not affiliated with this repo; I tried to ping him here to see if we could work on a common package but no reply so far. I suggest that you contact the package maintainer whose address should be in the information of the .deb package you downloaded.

We are also working on a Debian package but it's incomplete, and we still have to package python-twodict. See #189 and #21

Just download and install the python-twodict package from here. Then you should be able to install the youtube-dlg deb package using dpkg.
