Douglas, Leonard, Chris,
Thanks for the advices.
Actually I folowed Leonard's advice and reinstalled flashplugin-nonfree 
and although it gave an error, saying "invalid option -n" it apparently 
installed.
When using aptitude show etc. it says:
"Package: flashplugin-nonfree
State: partially configured."
But I can see the video's on youtube (which was one of the reasons I 
wanted it running) so I don't need yo install the 32-bit ff version.
I tried that a year ago in Fedora but that didn't work. It simply 
refused to install.
But thanks again. It shows the value of an experienced users community.
Joep
