Bug#968060: axi-cache: string/bytes confusion in display

[rharwood <rharwood@club.cc.cmu.edu>]

Package: apt-xapian-index
Version: 0.51
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

In rdepends output:

    rharwood@eesha:~$ axi-cache rdepends apt-xapian-index
    apt-xapian-index
    Reverse Depends:
      b'muon'
      b'packagesearch'
      b'synaptic'
      b'aptitude'
      b'python3-apt'
    rharwood@eesha:~$ 

When print() is called on a `bytes` object in python3, it formats it like that
(with the leading 'b' etc.).  The smallest fix is probably to change the
print() in do_rdepends() (on line 701) from

                    print(" ", pkg)

to

                    print(" ", pkg.decode("utf-8"))

However, this probably shows up other places as well and a more invasive fix
might be better.

Thanks,
--Robbie
