[sanman_nor]

I can't do anything with syinaptic, it stops downloading and goes strait to loading and fails

[sanman_nor]

I can't remove or add anything with sanapteic

[cdhotfire]

try to delete /var/cache/apt/archives/libavcodec2_1%3a0.4.9-prelsarge0.2_i386.deb that would be my suggestion. But if it doesnt work, then put it back just in case it makes things worse.

[sanman_nor]

and to do that what should I do

[cdhotfire]

sudo mv /var/cache/apt/archives/libavcodec2_1%3a0.4.9-prelsarge0.2_i386.deb /home/USERNAME/

put you username in USERNAME, and like i said if it doenst work, do

sudo mv /home/USERNAME/libavcodec2_1%3a0.4.9-prelsarge0.2_i386.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/

if it doesnt work tell me, and i will try and help you out. ;-)
