    Interestingly, I can access that URL from my browser. Try downloading the file and manually installing with `sudo dpkg -i ` –  Feb 15 '17 at 17:25

    It looks like a temporary problem on your DNS, change your mirror if it persist, but youtube-dl often needs fast updates, I'd suggest installing it from here: https://youtube-dl.org/ – Artyom Feb 15 '17 at 17:27
  • Your problem *is* with the internet connection and nothing to do with what you're installing. It can be temporary (that's the message you should have read) or it can be blocked anywhere from a local proxy to the ISP itself. You can try changing the server. –  Feb 15 '17 at 17:28
  • @artyom Seems you have got it right. I often face 'server not found' while browsing. Can you suggest how to get rid of this. – EetSandhu Feb 17 '17 at 01:02
  • @EetSandhu Just change your mirror, take a look at this; https://askubuntu.com/questions/37753/how-can-i-get-apt-to-use-a-mirror-close-to-me-or-choose-a-faster-mirror – Artyom Feb 17 '17 at 18:00
  • @Artyom I did as suggest in the linked post but to no avail :( . I even have an active question regarding dns change here http://askubuntu.com/questions/856230/unable-to-downlaod-anything-check-internet-connection-even-firefox-not-workin – EetSandhu Feb 21 '17 at 17:22
  • @EetSandhu No harm trying to disable ipv6, maybe something is wrong with your ipv6 setup, disable it as seen here; https://askubuntu.com/a/768022/602695 – Artyom Feb 22 '17 at 21:52
  • @Artyom i've disabled ipv6 for firefox browser. I don't see any improvement as far as 'Server not found' occurrence is concerned. A bill payment takes at least 3 attempts. this is not the case with my desktop using windows 7 :( . Seems like there's seriously something wrong my my ubuntu copy. I'm using Ubuntu Mate on a lenovo laptop. – EetSandhu Feb 25 '17 at 09:03

There's a much simpler way. Uninstall current youtube-dl(optional) by running 

sudo apt-get remove youtube-dl

Install latest youtube-dl by running the following commands:

sudo curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
