[pacman-dev] Multiple progress bars not compatible with dumb terminals
On less capable terminals, pacman should probably display only one active progress bar simultaneously. An example of such a terminal is Emacs's M-x shell ($TERM == "dumb"). It can't display the additional "total" properly because it doesn't implement cursor movement.

For such terminals you can use "--noprogressbar", or set the equivalent in pacman.conf. Allan
