A instalação do pip resolveu o problema
sudo pip install --upgrade youtube-dl
já faz um tempo que eu usava o ubuntu para o meu driver diário porque eu precisava de arquivos VST na produção musical, recentemente peguei este thinkpad.
De qualquer forma, sempre que tento baixar algo do youtube, esse erro aparece
ERROR: Signature extraction failed: Traceback (most recent call last):
