Hi,

It would be super nice to add a Recommends: phantomjs on youtube-dl
package. Otherwise it may fails sometimes with:

ERROR: PhantomJS executable not found in PATH, download it from
http://phantomjs.org
Traceback (most recent call last):

Your message didn't contain any patch. Anyway, it is so trivial that I
uploaded another package with the recommends in place.

Great. Can you please put offending URLs the next time, so that I can test
to see if the problem really went away?


Thanks,
