Hi,

For: https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/system/ccrypt/

There is an issue with emacs/ps-ccrypt.el and Emacs
version 30.1

ps-ccrypt.el can be used to edit files encrypted by ccrypt,
but when used with 30.1 it fails with

if: Wrong type argument: obarrayp, [nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil ...]

The fix is to change (make-vector 31 nil) to (make-vector 31 0)
in file emacs/ps-ccrypt.el

Details are here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/ccrypt/bugs/30/

On my system (Slackware 15.0), this fix corrects the issue.

Since ccrypt-1.11.tar.gz in sourceforge was not upgraded
with the change, I do not know how/if a patch should be
done in the build script.  I will leave that up to you :)
