Ubuntu – Avconv warning while downloading YouTube video

avconvkubuntuyoutube-dl

I received this warning:

Your copy of avconv is outdated, 
update avconv to version 10-0 or newer if you encounter any errors.

while downloading a YouTube video with youtube-dl -f 137+140. I am using kubuntu 14.04.

What should I do to get rid of this problem?

To answer OP's question the way he wants it:

# before
$ avconv |& grep \ version | awk '{print $3}'
9.18-6:9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1,

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:heyarje/libav-11 && sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install libav-tools

# after
$ avconv |& grep \ version | awk '{print $3}'
11.3-6:11.3-1~trusty,

Alternatively, can avconv -version to get avconv latest version
