Thank you for any responses. I managed to solve the problem by:
1. Add the following line to the file etc/apt/sources.list :
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main
2. Then run the commands
apt-get update
apt-cache search firebird
apt-get install firebird2.5-super
dpkg-reconfigure firebird2.5-super
