Is your libswfdec0.3 out of sarge? And what about your other packages? 

$ apt-cache depends libswfdec0.3
does show you on which packages "libswfdec0.3" is depending on. 

$ apt-get install libswfdec0.3 
will show you a detailed error message.

And what das 
$ apt-cache policy libc6 libswfdec0.3
tell on your system?
