This bug was fixed in the package ecryptfs-utils - 98-0ubuntu1

---------------
ecryptfs-utils (98-0ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  [ Dustin Kirkland ]
  * debian/ecryptfs-utils.prerm:
    - drop the pre-removal ERRORs down to WARNINGs
    - these have caused a ton of trouble; whatever is causing ecryptfs-utils
      to be marked for removal should be fixed; but ecryptfs exiting 1 seems
      to be causing more trouble than it's worth
    - LP: #871021, #812270, #988960, #990630, #995381, #1010961
  * doc/ecryptfs-faq.html:
    - update the frequently asked questions, which haven't seen much
      attention in a while now
    - drop a few references to sourceforge

      quit publishing it in our release tarballs
