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!

this is bad, very bad.. :P
