[root@arch arnuld]#

7 different repositories and xine-ui is not available from anyone of them. some days ago i had the same troubles in installing gtk2 which was not available from 10 different repositories :-(

what exactly is happening with Arch repositories ?

Just do an Syu, and it should work out.
Some packages have been moving from current to extra.
