I need to upgrade it cause it can't find glib and gives the following

debian:~# apt-get install glib
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package glib
debian:~#


can anybody tell me that how can I install glib on debian ?

First of all you need to do a search for the exact package name. 'apt-cache search glib' should help you to find the proper package to install.

Second, the pubkey thing just means that you don't have the proper verification key set up. This has been answered many times, so do a forum search. It shouldn't affect the actual installation though. You can ignore the warnings.

Code:
gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 07DC563D1F41B907 && apt-key add /root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg && dselect update
Try this:
Code:
apt-cache search libglib

There's an easier way to solve the multimedia gpg-key issue now:
# aptitude install debian-multimedia-keyring
