Hi!

It's interesting, it seems to work for me. One note: this should remove
gpm if no other packages requires it.
I think an error occurs during removing aalib, instead of being an -Rs
bug, since (1/2) is displayed; and as you described, aalib still exists
on the system. (On my machine pacman -S aalib and pacman -R aalib works
without any problem anyway.)

Bye, NG.
