Error is a feature provided by libapt, it defined at:
/usr/include/apt-pkg/error.h
#define _error _GetErrorObj()
GlobalError *_GetErrorObj();

So, you get a GlobalError Object (also defined in error.h).

This _error stuff is a nice way to pass around error information (and
it's used by the rguserdialog for example).
