OS: Windows 7
Octave:  4.2.1 64-bit, zip install package

call this report a 'package installation echo cleanup' a low priority wishlist
item:

I've noticed on a number of packages that numerous messages and warnings may
be printed that can be quite disconcerting to a new user. Especially because
many will run a pkg update right after a fresh install.  Especially because us
Windows users tend to be most intimidate by such things.

Here's the output I got from a pkg update on a fresh install, the first set
appears to come from the dicom-0.2.0 package,  the 'skipping lines' from
geometry-3.0.0.:

Also just manually installed the symbolic-win-py-bundle-2.5.0.zip which we
often refer to windows users, and it produced:

For information about changes from previous versions of the symbolic package,
run 'news symbolic'.

Maybe those are just related to the utf-8 display bug? 

Apologies for being lazy and not making these separate reports. copying
package maintainers.
