Oh and why are there only one ghostscript package included? well, actually don't answer that one: the thing is that i need GNU ghostscript because my printer lj1010 only works with that one(i think) and the one in repo doesn't even say which ghostscript package it is(pacman -Qi ghostscript) when it's like 4 separate gs packages out there!
