The otherpkgs postscript writes two diagnostic lines for each package
sublist: the split package array with its size, and the detected package
manager. On a list with tens of entries these lines fill the updatenode
output and the node log, and hide the install results.
The two echo commands sit in xCAT/postscripts/otherpkgs, after the
IFS split that builds pkgsarray, and no condition guards them. Every
other diagnostic in the script runs only when VERBOSE is set.
This change puts the two lines in the same "if [ $VERBOSE ]" block the
rest of the script uses.
xCAT-test/bats/postscripts_otherpkgs.bats runs the split and the lines
that follow it. One case asserts no output when VERBOSE is empty, and
fails on the parent commit. A second case asserts both lines are still
printed when VERBOSE is set.

xCAT-test/bats
Shell-script unit tests live here and run with:
bats -r xCAT-test/bats
The GitHub Actions xcat_test workflow runs this command after the Perl .t
unit tests. Use BATS for shell behavior that can be exercised from the source
tree without an installed xCAT, a live management node, or real services.
Prefer sourcing an existing shell library or sourceable script and calling the
function under test. Keep reusable install-template helpers in
xCAT-server/share/xcat/install/scripts/scriptlib, and reusable postscript
helpers in xCAT/postscripts/xcatlib.sh. Use scratch directories and shadowed
commands so tests cannot write to the host.
Extraction helpers in helpers/shell_source.bash are only for legacy code that
cannot safely be sourced yet. Do not add Perl .t tests that grep shell source
when the behavior can be tested with BATS.
