I cannot seem to download Youtube videos. I tried updating the application but it did not help. This is on Kubuntu 12.10.

Command-line options always start with dashes. When you type youtube-dl update, you are using the built-in search function. Instead, type sudo youtube-dl -U or sudo youtube-dl --update.
