apt-get update
apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk linux32 lib32asound2 nspluginwrapper
cd /tmp
wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
tar xvfz install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
cd install_flash_player_9_linux
mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/x86_64/linux/npconfig -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Having just upgraded my system from i386 to AMD64 I find I am unable to
watch youtube vidoes anymore.  I generally use Konqueror, but Ideweasel
doesn't work either.

I thought all I had to do was install nspluginswrapper (as well as
libflash) but it doesn't work.

Is there a way?
    

There is an amd64 package for flashplugin-nonfree in Sid. It uses
nspluginwrapper, which does not work with PulseAudio, but other than
that it works as it does on 32-bit.

There's also the option of using debootstrap and schroot to have a
full-fledged copy of 32-bit Iceweasel and it's required libraries in a
chroot, provided you have the disk space. Since I use PulseAudio, this
is what I do when I need to play a Flash video with sound.
