Generally youtube-dl works on my system, but after removing the latest Linux Mint 17 repo version and following the installation instructions in the latest version download the following results:

Checked the FAQ as suggested and found that a third command, namely: hash -r is included in the update process that isn't in the instructions sent out with the latest version. After executing that command youtube-dl now works fine. You might want to add the hash -r command to all the instructions. Thanks.
