OK, it took so long to run I left the house -- when I returned the 
termainal had closed itself.

Does the following indicate it did not install?:

root at p733:/home/chris# synaptic
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified


(synaptic:18353): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
root at p733:/home/chris#

chris at p733:~$ dpkg -I synaptic
dpkg-deb: failed to read archive `synaptic': No such file or directory
chris at p733:~$ su
Password:
root at p733:/home/chris# dpkg -I synaptic
dpkg-deb: failed to read archive `synaptic': No such file or directory
root at p733:/home/chris#

I guess that means it did not install. This is the first time I've used 
dpkg.
