Hi,
I’m using open suse 3.1 and when trying to update software via apper a message appears:
A package dependency could not be found.
More information is available in the detailed report.
in the details buttton apppears:
There is no update candidate for libavcodec55-2.1.1-2.1.x86\_64
Any clue ?
Thanks in advance for any feedback

Hi
I’m assuming you meant openSUSE 13.1, these are the forums for the enterprise product SLE, you need to look at posting at [https://forums.opensuse.org](https://forums.opensuse.org) (same user name and password).
Sounds like you have packman as a repository? If so try forcing a repository refresh;
```auto
zypper ref -f
```
Else it could be a packman mirror not updated, try a different mirror.
If your still having issuse, suggest you create a new thread in the openSUSE Forums.

I don’t know why but I cannot post any thread in [forums.opensuse.org](http://forums.opensuse.org). (either start, edit or replay) I cannot do anything in [forums.opensuse.org](http://forums.opensuse.org).
You’re right, I’m using open suse 13.1
I did the zypper ref -f
and the result was:
All repositories have been refreshed.
And after that I still continue with the same issue, I cannot update
