GTriderXC, you're right, this string isn't quite grammatical. You can request something, or you can "request that" someone do something, but you can't "request to" something. (Unless the "to" is part of an auxiliary verb, e.g. "request to be excused", but even that's clunky.)

Unfortunately, even if that was fixed, I still wouldn't understand this string. What does it mean for a package catalog to request installation of software? Could you please give two or three examples of when this might happen, and what the named catalog (or list of catalogs) is in each case? I suspect there might be a much better way to word this.
