When I am using the Ubuntu Software Updater to install or upgrade packages, I can see a progress bar that shows how much of the installation is complete. When I am using the command line apt-get tool, there is no such progress indicator. Is there a way to easily see the progress of a package installation when using a command line application such as apt-get?

I use debconf-apt-progress, which should be included in ubuntu by default.
Basic syntax:

sudo apt-get install <package> | debconf-apt-progress
