Problems with package removing

I can't remove packages for some reason. When I try to remove mplayer it give me this:

pacman -Rs mplayer
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gnome-mplayer: requires mplayer
:: kdemultimedia-mplayerthumbs: requires mplayer

What is wrong here?

Re: Problems with package removing

those packages need mplayer to work
but since you want to remove mplayer there is no use for them
removing them together with mplayer should work

pacman -Rs gnome-mplayer kdemultimedia-mplayerthumbs mplayer

pacman -Rs should remove the dependencies of mplayer if they are only required by that application
wonder why it didn't work:/
