okey.  since i'm not sure of my c++, is this what you mean?

const packagelist::infotype &packagelist::infoinfos[]= {

from that i get:

../../../dselect/pkginfo.cc:68: declaration of `infoinfos' as array of references
make: *** [pkginfo.o] Error 1

that's now the only error in the compile part of dpkg.  i did have to
add a bunch of &'s to methkeys.cc and pkgkeys.cc.  but it's getting
there.  i can send a diff if you want. 

thanks much!
