No, the apt-get message you quote above shows that it was correctly
installed. Try a "dpkg -L macutils" to see which files and programs the
macutils package installed. Typically the files of interest to you will
be in a bin/ directory. Then you can do a "man" on each of the files
installed in bin/ by macutils to see what they're meant to do, and how
to use them.
