    Interestingly, I can access that URL from my browser. Try downloading the file and manually installing with sudo dpkg -i <path to file> –  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

source
