12.04's youtube-dl version 2012.02.27 isn't able to download videos from youtube.
e.g
>> youtube-dl -t https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmNRN-l-BJw
[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] kmNRN-l-BJw: Downloading video webpage
[youtube] kmNRN-l-BJw: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] kmNRN-l-BJw: Extracting video information

ERROR: unable to download video

Same error with http instead of https

upstream version 2012.09.27 works:

>> wget https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/raw/2012.09.27/youtube-dl
>> chmod +x ./youtube-dl
>> ./youtube-dl -t https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmNRN-l-BJw
[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] kmNRN-l-BJw: Downloading video webpage
[youtube] kmNRN-l-BJw: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] kmNRN-l-BJw: Extracting video information
[download] Destination: MechWarrior_Online_Video_Preview-kmNRN-l-BJw.mp4
