debian Just Works except when it inexplicably fucking doesn't

so for yt-dlp i have to run the windows binary in wine

which means i have to install the ffmpeg.exe and deno.exe (javascript) binaries by hand for shit to work

at least windows yt-dlp updates and works correctly

this is what the yt-dlp linux "binary", downloaded from the yt-dlp site itself, does:

$ /home/fun/bin/yt-dlp
Traceback (most recent call last):

i'm sure it's trivial and also i have no idea and it shouldn't fucking happen

ubuntu's fix the papercuts programme was a tremendous contribution to the free desktop and i'm deeply annoyed they went slop

EDIT: thanks, I have a working yt-dlp and don't need a new hobby getting the nonworking one to work, thanks. my point is that none of the workarounds you are listing - all different - should be necessary.
