Debian Stretch and speakup Aren't Playing Nicely.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After upgrading 2 Debian systems to stretch, speakup has died on
both systems.  The systems are still very much alive and accept
remote logins via ssh.

	Sometimes, I am the last person to get wise to big
changes and something appears to have changed in the way that
services are started under stretch.

	This is what prints out on both systems after apt-get
upgrade regarding speakup.  Can I fix this and how do I do it and
create the least amount of damage as both systems seem to
otherwise be okay.

After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.

	I had built both systems from a stretch install iso image
and they both talked through the installation but the problems
appeared to start after a few upgrades as in

apt-get update;aptget -upgrade


Thanks for any and all constructive ideas.
