The output in the original comment, may also be a little miss leading - with the dicom package already updated, I get the following output:
So I think there is only one warning coming from dicom.

It would be much better to report distinct bugs to each package, since packages are maintained and released independently.
I'd recommend turning this bug report into fixing warnings in the dicom package.
The message "skipping line" when installing the geometry package comes from Octave, it means that there is an error with the DESCRIPTION file in the geometry package. You could report that as a separate bug.
As to the symbolic package, can you confirm that the package installs successfully despite the error messages? See bug #49839 for that one already being investigated. There seems to be agreement there that the package does install fine, but the error messages are many and are distracting, and that needs to be fixed in the Octave distribution for Windows itself.

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:
Maybe those are just related to the utf-8 display bug?
Apologies for being lazy and not making these separate reports. copying package maintainers.
