And if you want to try the command line (and you will be glad you did), just 
open a terminal and issue this command:

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade && sudo aptitude install 
kontact

(all on one line)

Follow the prompts.  You might find that the whole process completes faster 
than the time it takes for synaptic to start.

The first part of the command updates your local system on what is available 
in the software repositories.  The second part tells it to install updates to 
any software that is available the 'safe-' part tells it to report, but not 
yet install, updates that require package removal or kernel changes or such.  
The third part tells it to install the kontact package and required 
libraries.

You can run the parts separately, or with the &&.
