I have the exact same problem, flash was working fine up until a few days ago, now when trying to re-install, I get the same error as poster.

hi,

i am also using AMD64 GUTSY.

it seems that flashplugin-nonfree expects to find the libXcomposite in the /usr/lib/

it is the same issue mentioned here:
