Welcome to the forums. Please edit your post and put your terminal output inside code tags https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code.
How did you install arch and how long ago have you installed it? The output you show seems to indicate there might be some problem with the pacman database.

Please paste your full pacman log and the output of `systemctl list-unit-files --state enabled`.

can you help me to delete all of them and install networkmanager
i'm unable to remove netctl or networkmanager
didn't try to remove dhcpd because it makes me able to connect using my mobile

You don't need to remove anything, just disable and stop the dhcpcd service.

i disabled dhcpd and removed netctl using pacman but i still can't install networkmanager using pacman
it gives me the same error

Your pacman log is full of complaints from ldconfig about empty .so files, I suspect something is broken in your system. Just to be on the safe side backup everything important.
Post the output of 'smartctl -a /dev/sda' (if sda is your hdd/sdd). Also boot from the install iso and do an 'fsck -f' of your partitions. It might not hurt to also run memtest too just to rule out broken ram.

Indeed (sorry, didn't see the updated OP)
In this light, the reason is likely that the NM service is just a garbage file as well:
file /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager*
cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager*

that's correct
I installed wicd now and it worked !!!
I will mark this thread as solved

You're aware that you got more problems than this? You end up with garbage on your disk - you need to figure why and fix that.
Otherwise not only will you run in such kind of trouble over and over again, but might also jeopardize your private data.

This is not like "garbage" that you got to bring out. It's like "garbage" where your food should be stored.
Deleting it won't help you anything. You install packages and end up with empty files - so either your hardware, your installation process or your repo mirror is broken.
See comment #12 for inspecting your hardware, post your pacman.d/mirrorlist for inspecting your mirror and pay attention to any kind of error messages during package installation/updates.

you mean you copied a mirrorlist from some obscure source?
=> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Reflector
or

The nm packages in the top two mirrors seem sane, though (looked at x64)
=> your /etc/pacman.conf?
