On -R operations, the "New Version" column is always empty, taking up space and not really showing the user anything valuable. The same is true on -S or -U operations for the "Old Version" column when packages are only being installed and not upgraded. Remove this column so we get a few screen columns back, especially now that we show repo/packagename style output. This also makes some adjustment to the padding logic. We no longer include padding in column widths but it is included in the total table width. We also ensure the last displayed column is always right aligned, even if this is not the actual rightmost column. Example output, before: $ sudo pacman -R eclipse checking dependencies... Targets (1): Name Old Version New Version Net Change eclipse 3.7-1 -194.02 MiB Total Removed Size: 194.02 MiB And after: $ sudo pacman -R eclipse checking dependencies...
