This problem exists for others too. I’ve got Ubuntu 18, and exactly the same problem. (my issue was also closed as “can’t reproduce” too.)

Well, as mentioned by @tmczar and @bitraid youtube-dl was installed by download and updated by command -U to the newest available version. The link works perfectly in Firefox but isn’t downloadable in yt-dl

This is the output with the exactly same command as used by @bitraid:
