Bug Description
Binary package hint: youtube-dl
(Using version 2008.03.22 in Ubuntu Karmic) Youtube-dl is no longer able to extract the title information using the -t option. It worked fine until around the time of Karmic's release, but now it fails for every video I try.
Here's what I see:
$ youtube-dl -t http://
Retrieving video webpage... done.
Extracting video title... failed.
Error: unable to extract video title.
Try again several times. It may be a temporary problem.
Other typical problems:
* Video no longer exists.
* Video requires age confirmation but you did not provide an account.
* You provided the account data, but it is not valid.
* The connection was cut suddenly for some reason.
* YouTube changed their system, and the program no longer works.
Try to confirm you are able to view the video using a web browser.
Use the same video URL and account information, if needed, with this program.
When using a proxy, make sure http_proxy has http://
Try again several times and contact me if the problem persists.

The version in karmic is way too old.
The newer version supports many new things and has many bugfixes. Please, take it from Debian's unstable distribution.
