ERROR: Unable to log in; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output. Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update.

I've tried it with:

Could you run it with --verbose --write-pages and attach None_https_-_www.lynda.com_login_login.aspx.dump file that will be created in current directory?
