Use strings in package-installs follow output

I noticed in debugging that with python3 all the pkg-installs output
is preceeded by a b'foo', which suggests coding issues lurking.

The universal_newlines argument makes subprocess readline() returns a
decoded str (via locale) instead of a byte-string.  This clears up a
couple of points where we explicitly decode and cleans up the print
output.

Minor formatting cleanup of command and exit display.  Don't strip the
leading spaces so indents retain in the output
