Some things have been snipped above while I hope I left enough of
Paul's latest feedback to give it due Respect. :)
Simultaneous in my inbox is a different bug about Synaptic possibly
keeping Orca from operating while Synaptic is open. It's this Bug
#859262.
Synaptic "freezes Orca screen reader"
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=859262
Is something like that maybe a possibility?
Seeing the word "Synaptic" also originally made me wonder if our
*_CHOICE_* of package managers is affecting things somehow.
In my case, I have neither Synaptic nor Orca open because I don't use
those. I only use "apt-get" via terminal interface for my package
management.
One thing is that I still don't know how to actually test speechd-up's
functionality. For now, all I know is that it appeared to have
successfully, initially installed with no complaints (via "apt-get
install speechd-up").
Another factor in my install attempt is that mine was a brand new
install. There was no residual "clutter" of past installs that could
potentially also be causing unknown complications.
