If you are using a crappy terminal that doesn't support queries for size, then use this as a workaround: pacman -Qi glibc | cat
Thanks, this does the trick. It wraps the output of -Qi on 80th column which is fine.
It actually doesn't wrap at all; it leaves it up to the piped-to program to do the work. However, you will notice you now wrap package names and words mid-word instead of only splitting on spaces.
Wrapping occurs only when terminal's width is <80 columns, otherwise I always get the same output: Required By : attr bash bzip2 coreutils cracklib dcron dhcpcd diffutils eventlog expat file findutils gawk gcc-libs gdbm gen-init-cpio grep gzip initscripts iptables iputils kbd libcap libgpg-error libidn libjpeg libpcap libtasn1 mkinitcpio-busybox module-init-tools nano ncurses net-tools pam perl popt procinfo psmisc readline run-parts sudo sysfsutils sysstat sysvinit tar tcp_wrappers udev visitors wget which zlib -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
