Bug#320215: debian-accessibility: kernel-image-2.4.24-speakup no longer present
Package: www.debian.org
Version: N/A; reported 2005-07-27
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
kernel-image-2.4.24-speakup is (no longer) in the archive. I suggest
using the patch below. You might want to add if the patch applies both
to 2.4 and 2.6, as I could not see that from the description of the
package. If something along kernel-image-2.4.27-speakup is available
somewhere it is not findable via apt-cache search in Sarge.
Btw. the last line in the patch is a spelling fix which I can apply
directly in CVS if you like.
I also noticed that some other version numbers referenced are not
current in respect to Sarge and you might want to update those too.

Speakup can for instance read critical kernel messages to you at a point
where the kernel has already Oopsed, and no user space program could do
