Hi Samuel. Kirk suggesteed I write to you about this, and I'm doing so
on the list in case others incounter the same problem.
I did a dist-upgrade this morning which attempted to install a new
version of espeakup. During the installation I got the following error.
(Reading database ... 190961 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace espeakup 3.1.3-2 (using espeakup_3.1.3-2_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement espeakup ...

dpkg: error processing espeakup (--install):

Processing triggers for man-db ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
espeakup
What does it mean that the start| stop arguments must terminate with
".", and where do I fix that? Just for completeness, the debian .deb
file I'm installing from is espeakup_3.1.3-2_i386.deb. I tried removing
the espeakup.postinst file from /var/lib/dpkg/info and reinstalling, but
that ddidn't help.
Thanks much.

Samuel,
I'm also concerned about this, because there is no espeakup 3.1.3. The
latest version of espeakup which is released is 0.71.
Thanks,
William

Yes, I'm having the same problem here. Running debian unstable.

But they are in the same upstream package, thus the same version.

No, espeakup is a separate upstream package at version 0.71.
The only reason it is in the "contrib" directory of speakup is that Kirk
suggested this as an easy way to distribute espeakup.
The home page for espeakup is on github at
http://www.github.com/williamh/espeakup, and the tarball of the current
release is currently hosted on linux-speakup.org and distributed in the
contrib directory of speakup.
Should I remove it from the contrib directory to eliminate confusion?
Thanks,
William

I would think not, William, since it makes it easier for newbees to get
espeakup.

No need to, I can indeed package it separately.

Ok, uploaded separately and removed from the speakup debian packaging.
