Okay. It took quite a few times asking you to explain it, but okay.
Etiquette and thoroughness requires that you explain the first time you
solve the problem and realize what was wrong. Brings closure to the problem.

AFAIK, removing the package 'totem' is not supposed to remove the libs
required by Brasero. Looks like you did something more drastic that just
remove 'totem'. (But if you literally mean "deleted", then that must be
the problem.)
