I have not seen this before.  It seems to hint at a problem in the
dictionaries-common package.  Reassigning.  Do the files and directories
mentioned in the error message exist?  What are their permissions?

** Package changed: emacs23 (Ubuntu) => dictionaries-common (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: dictionaries-common (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
