DetailsSummary and Info:
For example, running `sudo pacman -Su` results in: (Copy to text editors with monospace fonts to see exactly what happened) ``` :: 正在進行全系統更新… 正在解決依賴關係… 正在檢查衝突的軟體包… 軟體包 (2) 舊版本 新版本 淨更動 下載大小 testing/linux 4.17.3-1 4.17.4-1 0.01 MiB 70.38 MiB testing/linux-headers 4.17.3-1 4.17.4-1 0.00 MiB 8.25 MiB 總計下載大小： 78.63 MiB 總計安裝大小： 157.30 MiB 淨升級大小： 0.01 MiB :: 進行安裝嗎？ [Y/n] n ``` The term 舊版本 does not align with 4.17.3-1. In comparison, the English version is correctly aligned: ``` :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages...

[Y/n] n ``` The problem here is that pacman uses printf to align columns, but such an approach does not work well with some non-ASCII characters [1] [1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35427491/the-width-specifier-in-printf-does-not-work-properly-with-accented-characters/35427692 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable `VerbosePkgLists` in pacman.conf 2. Downgrade some random packages 3. `sudo pacman -Su` |
