Just did some testing with pacman 3.0 :
using english output, it worked fine, but in french, there already was a little
problem :
(1/1) Analyse des conflits entre fichiers           [############################################] 100%
Avertissement: /etc/X11/twm/system.twmrc installé en tant que /etc/X11/twm/system.twmrc.pacnew        %
(1/1) Mise à jour xorg-twm                          [############################################] 100%


Just the % appeared at the end of the line.
That's still better than the current pacman 3.1 output, as seen in my first post.

I wasn't even able to find out where this padding was done in 3.0.. I suck :p
