Speech-Dispatcher Won't Install

[Chime Hart <chime@hubert-humphrey.com>]

Hi All: I hope I am subscribed to this list, as it was suggested by Paul, who's 
name was in a README of this package.
Anyway, I am trying to get newer embedded voices from Voxin running in a Debian 
SID 5.16.0-3 system. A version of speechd-up which tries to install is 0.5 from 
Brailcom. But even compiling provides similar results.
Errors were encountered while processing:
 speechd-up
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Folks who maintain-and-use Voxin say I must run "speechd-up" instead of 
"voxinup" Right now I am still listening to speech from a DecTalk but would 
like to enjoy Allison from these newer voices through Speakup. Thanks so much 
in advance
Chime
