youtube-dl throw weird errors

[TheGr33k]

I recently found the following in /var/log/messages

My youtube-dl version : youtube-dl is up-to-date (2014.11.13.3)
Python version : Python 2.6.6

How are you calling youtube-dl? Could you post the output you get if you add the --verbose option?
Without this info, we can't do anything.

Well this is no error whatsoever when i use youtube-dl but still those errors in var/log/messages are annoying me

I'm closing the issue then, If you find the command that produces thoses errors, please post it here with the verbose output and we will reopen. I don't know how abrt works, but maybe you can find the command that produced an specific error.

By the way: You should avoid running youtube-dl as the root user, it's only needed for updating.
