This message morphed from a question about youtub-dl not working into updating avconv. following is the original message:
Hello. I'm trying to use youtube-dl but get an error:

There are more errors but I edited them out. My websearch suggested that I needed to update youtube-dl but that resulted in the following error:
sudo youtube-dl --update
It looks like you installed youtube-dl with a package manager, pip, setup.py or a tarball. Please use that to update.
so I searched that error which led to the instructions to:
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install --upgrade youtube-dl
(I had to press <enter> after each command but....
t.... that led to a new error:

... and that downloaded the file! But I suppose I'll update avconv because it is outdated.
