I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04. I used to update youtube-dl via youtube-dl -U, but now I get the error:

youtube-dl: error: youtube-dl's self-update mechanism is disabled on Debian. 
Please update youtube-dl using apt.

So will I always get the recent (stable!!) update by going 

sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y

as for everything else, or will I have to add a new repository?

    @MarkusGratis sudo youtube-dl -U # no longer supported in Debian-based systems - source which is practically the same thing as what you said in your comment with minor changes in the wording, that the -U option of youtube-dl is currently disabled. – karel Jun 17 '18 at 10:31
  • @andrew.46 ah, when I said "merged" I meant the merging described in https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/10841/how-should-duplicate-questions-be-handled – muru Jun 19 '18 at 02:55
