New comment by icp1994 on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/42661#issuecomment-1461312625 Comment: That's fair but as you can see upstream implicitly [enforces](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/2023.03.04/setup.py#L146) these [dependencies](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/2023.03.04/setup.py#L30). You can check it by looking at `/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/yt_dlp-2023.3.4-py3.11.egg-info/requires.txt`. Also from their README > The standalone release binaries are built with the Python interpreter and the packages marked with * included. so I guess we have to patch it ourselves if we want a dependency-free installation like [gentoo](https://bugs.gentoo.org/828466) does.
