I'm trying to remove libavcodec52 package but it won't work. If I try through Software Central it just tells me it didn't work and to check my internet conection.

If I try it at the terminal, this is what I get

I've tried an apt-get update and nothing changes.

Any help?

Edit: apt is also part of the problem, but DoR is right, the main problem is with connection to Brazilian mirror, so change of mirror will solve this problem as well.

There are some packages depending on libavcodec52 (in my system I've found mplayer, but also vlc and maybe other multimedia applications) and it seems apt can't resolve this conflict.

You can try to remove those applications first (I see VLC in the apt output) and then remove libavcodecs52 or install aptitude which has better system for resolving conflicts.

aptitude has similar syntax, so you can remove packages using

sudo aptitude remove package

Tried and worked for me - apt is "stuck" but aptitude offers removing of mplayer and that solves the problem (libavcodecs52 is removed properly without installing anything new).

I did a little searching and it seems the problem is with the Brazilian repository
mirror (http://br.archive.ubuntu.com). Go to Software Center ➜ Edit ➜ Software Sources... and change the download server.
