Thanks for your help.

It was just that I needed to apt-get install as root, not sudo apt-get.

The following command
# apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
worked just fine.

$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
failed because the invoked script probably did not have the write permission
for a certain directory.

This is a little bit confusing for a newbie like me.
But, anyway, I can now see the videos on youtube.

Just remember Debian isn't Ubuntu. When you see "sudo blah blah blah"
just run "blah blah blah" as root¹.

Ubuntu specifically sets up sudo, they don't like you being root!
whereas, in Debian, ***YOU*** would have to install sudo and configure
it to get the desired result.

¹ "su -c blah blah blah" is probably better.
