Hi Gary
Do you mean 'gespeaker'?
'gespeaker' used to be in Debian but was *intentionally
removed* for releases later than Buster.
'gespeaker' is currently still available as a package in
the 'oldstable' Buster repository.
The history of the package is here:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gespeaker
and the history of its Debian bugs is here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?archive=both;src=gespeaker
and the reasons for its removal from Debian are here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=885287
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=953210
So it is not just a matter of a small tweak to make it work.
Support libraries that that 'gespeaker' requires became
obsolete, and no longer exist in the Debian project.
