This is an error message to tell you that libfltk1.1c102 depends on a
newer version of libc6 than you have installed.

The first of those three values ("install") is what _you_ want to happen
to that package, namely that you want it installed.
The third ("unpacked") is the status of it, if it were successfully
installed it would say "installed" ... here it says "unpacked".

It's not a warning. You've been confused because dpkg doesn't check
dependencies until after unpacking the package (pre-dependencies are
used to check before).
Upgrade libc6 to the required version and then run "dpkg --configure -a"
to complete configuration and installation of libfltk.
