62uCuLQtBkk is working fine. Most likely your version is out-dated. Please post the full verbose output with -v. For example:

youtube-dl -v 62uCuLQtBkk

Package managers usually ship very old versions of youtube-dl.

[debug] youtube-dl version 2014.08.05

The latest version is 2016.03.18. Please remove the one from apt-get and install manually,
