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.

** Changed in: ccrypt (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: ccrypt
I'm using Hardy 8.04.
I did a
sudo aptitude install git-core xemacs21 octave3.0-emacsen emacs octave3.0
python perl ccrypt python-doc perl-doc
and got a crash message saying the ccrypt install failed. However, the
aptitude command completed successfully.
Looks like it also didn't manage to install python-doc and perl-doc, but when
I redo the command, it works fine, installing the remaining packages it missed
the first time.
