Anyone tried installing Xfce through the repositories? GStreamer error

I had to uncomment mirrors from Germany and Indonesia to find a gstreamer.lalalala.xxx.version.something file. And use powerpill to do so.

I'm guessing the mirrors I tried (Romania, UK and a few random others) weren't completely synced and someone forgot that one stupid file. Without it the installation process wouldn't continue.

PS: I used "archlinux-2009.08-core-i686.img" from a USB flash drive. Not the netinstall (if it makes any difference).

A bunch of gstreamer packages were updated in the last day so there is a chance that your mirrors were not synced.  Changing mirrors or waiting were your options, and your took the immediate solution

Can't even install Firefox... So far Arch Linux has left a very bad impression on me.

Find a mirror that is synced properly from: http://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html
Then do a pacman -Syy. That might help with some sync problems.
