Basically backporting youtube-dl-2012.10.09-1.mga3 from cauldron should do it.

I downloaded and installed "2012.10.09" version (mentioned above),
in my typical Mageia 2 system, and it seems to work fine...

So, adding this rpm to the updates should fix the problem...

You can install the latest version from the French community's repository "mlo":
ftp://download.asso-linux-online.fr/download/packages-mlo/Mageia/3/x86_64/core/youtube-dl-2013.08.17-0.1.mga3.noarch.rpm

thanks to 3rd party repositories it is possible to have updated software.
Specially for programs like youtube client, this is indispensable.

This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life.  If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Why we don't just apply the policy here:
Software that is version-bound to an online service (games, virus scanners?) and will only work with the latest version.

Hello, excuse me. I'm retired and unassigning the bugs.

Mageia 2 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''22 November''. Mageia 2 is no
longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or
bug fix updates. As a result and as this bug is fixed in mga3 we are closing
it.
