ccrypt installation produce an error when installed at the same time than emacsen-common

Thanks for your report.

Confirmed in Intrepid. This happens when you install emacsen-common and ccrypt at the same time. It seems to be harmless because the installer recover the error at the end of the installation but a less alarming message could be more user friendly.
