Your terminal is configured wrong. What is $TERM set to? If you are in screen it should be screen (or some variant such as screen-bce)
TERM is linux. Changing it does not help.
"xm console" is a rather primitive terminal, not nearly as powerful as screen.
Ah, didn't know this. I tried iptraf, and the output was a broken too (in another way), so it's not just pacman that experiences this problem. However, -Sy falls back gracefully, i.e. via lish (screen to /dev/hvc0): testing 14.5K 52.4K/s 00:00:00 core 36.1K 85.7K/s 00:00:00 extra 445.6K 60.8K/s 00:00:07 via ssh: testing 14.5K 56.2K/s 00:00:00 [#####################] 100% core 36.1K 91.1K/s 00:00:00 [#####################] 100% extra 152.0K 75.8K/s 00:00:03 [#######--------------] 34% -Ss is broken too. It looks like the breakage occurs on spaces after some column, so -Ql doesn't break even very long lines, because there is no space in package paths. It would be nice to have -Ss/-Si/-Qi usable too, but it seems like a very low priority (I don't know if there are many people who run pacman on such limited terminals as xm console) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
