first off set locale

/etc/locale.gen

uncomment your choice save changes run

locale-gen

try

pacman -Sy totem

as last resort

pacman -Sf totem

Re: uhh please Help me install packages =[ [SOLVED]

This is due to how the gcc package got split into gcc and gcc-libs. You should run an update (pacman -Syu) to fix this.  Read the posts about the move to the core repository on the homepage.

Otherwise try to use "pacman -S gcc gcc-libs".  If that still gives errors use "-Sf".

As a general rule, always sync (-Sy) when installing new sotfware. pacman -S is only OK if you're sure your system is completely up to date.
