Subject: bug#21857: PATCH to show message after `package-install` installs successfully
Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2020 10:53:42 -0700

When `package-install` function finishes successfully, this patch
(below) shows the message "Package `package-name` installed."  This
matches the message that is shown with the function `package-delete`.
I feel like this solves the primary issue: messaging.  After this
patch, the user should know that everything was a success.
