There are two files that usually get sent to the tty, stdout and stderr.
You need to redirect both with something like this:
$ dpkg -i gcc-BLAH-BLAH.deb > /home/someuser/install.txt 2>&1
stdout is (usually) assigned to file descriptor #1, strerr to #2.
Specifying '2>&1' says to send the fd #2 output to the same place
as fd #1.
HTH!
