From pacman.conf(5):
ParallelDownloads Specifies number of concurrent download streams. The value needs to be a positive integer. If this config option is not set then only one download stream is used (i.e. downloads happen sequentially).
Found that after the error, but setting
ParallelDownloads = 1
Makes no difference whatsoever. The same discombobulated output is seen, e.g.

I'll just live with it until I have time to dig into the pacman source and find out what this supposed "new feature" is that screws up old terminals.
We are now 26 messages deep in a thread that has nothing to do with the original post and with no real progress being made. The obvious suspect is that your terminal does not support the ANSI escape codes used for the new multi-line progress bars. You have two options: use a terminal that does or disable the progress bars. If you find something to indicate that this is not the source of your problem, file a bug with pacman. Otherwise, can we please let this thread die? apg
