Thanks !

I noticed the following obvious typo:

  public:
+   virtual ~PackgeCopy() {};
 };

Which makes the build fail eventually.

Everything now builds fine. synaptic however crashed the first time on my 
EL4 system. It  hows a GUI, then processes stuff (not obvious what it is) 
and then eventually segfaults. The only output is glade related and harmless.
The next run it worked fine though.

I think apt also shows some debugging output when it deletes packages from 
the cache. I see something like :
