Clean up return of `install_packages`
Metadata
Current evaluation
Maintainer cleanup task: make install_packages return None since its return value is unused. Spawned by a TODO in yum.py. No labels, no comments, no activity in 342 days. The referenced TODO comment is no longer in the code, but install_packages still returns list[str] in yum.py, base.py, and deb.py, so the change is not yet done.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: This is a valid, well-scoped maintainer cleanup task (bepri) with a concrete premise: callers in executor.py:300 and part_handler.py:382/386 ignore the return value, yet install_packages still returns list[str] in yum.py, base.py, and deb.py. It is not stale-dead because the underlying code still exhibits the described behavior and the fix is small and self-contained; however it has had zero maintainer interaction and no labels for 342 days, so it needs triage/assignment rather than closure. Confidence is moderate because the referenced TODO comment no longer appears in yum.py, so I could not confirm the exact original wording or whether a partial cleanup already landed.
