Question #77820 on Ubuntu changed:

    Status: Answered => Solved

Mark Wallace confirmed that the question is solved:
O.K., everything seems to be working.  I say "seems" because the
problematic video was removed from YouTube by the copyright owner (BBC)
before I could retest.  However, other Top Gear episodes play without
incident.

It turns out that I had both adobe-flashplugin and the gnash software
installed.  I used Synaptic to remove both sets of components, and then
ran through the Medibuntu instructions.  When I went back to YouTube, it
complained that I needed a Flash player, and recommended Adobe, so I
went back to Synaptic and reinstalled adobe-flashplugin.  As I already
mentioned, now all seems to be well.

Thanks,

Mark
