While I can't explain the behavior you are describing, apt-get install
will not prompt you for a Y/N confirmation if you are installing a
single physical package.  The confirmation was given on the command
line when you hit ENTER.  It is only when apt-get install is
fulfilling dependancy requirements (and thus installing mutiple
physical package at once) that you will be prompted for a Y/N
response.
