pts: This fixes a bug where installing multiple distro packages (such as

SDL-devel and SDL_gfx-devel) results in a command that only installs the
first one in the list (eg: su root -c 'yum -y install SDL-devel'
SDL_gfx-devel - note the quotes). It happens like this because of the
different way that * and @ are expanded when quoted. See the Special
Parameters section of the Bash manpage for explanation.

Note that this might break if any of the package names contain
whitespaces (which really shouldn't happen).
