This is the configuration of one of my computers :

uname -a

3.2.0-4-powerpc-smp #1 SMP Debian 3.2.68-1+deb7u3 ppc GNU/Linux

cat /etc/debian_version

7.9

After updating today linux-headers-3.2.0-4-common linux-headers-3.2.0-4-powerpc-smp linux-image-3.2.0-4-powerpc-smp linux-libc-dev
~# apt-cache policy linux-image-3.2.0-4-powerpc-smp

I have tried to update youtube-dl. I started from ~# youtube-dl --verbose --version
2015.09.09
Then # youtube-dl -U
Updating to version 2015.09.22 ...
ERROR: unable to download latest version
So I try with curl :
~# curl https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2015.09.22/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

I insist with wget ;

wget https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2015.09.22/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

Then I go back to 2015.09.09 version with wget
0# wget https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2015.09.09/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
and I have again :

youtube-dl -v

It's really weird that you can download version 2015.09.09 but not 2015.09.22. Have you tried again? Can you download it with a webbrowser?

As Debian update ie, aptitude update and aptitude safe-upgrade says, I have updated today rpcbind, then I tried again to update youtube-dl and I have succeeded.
