I am trying to install speechd-up in Debian 12 without success. Shown
below is the messages I get during installation. I have found numerous
posts on this subject on line but not yet found a sollution. If, after
rebooting, I enter "speechd-up; echo $?", I get a message speechd-up is
running but also with an error code of 1. My end goal is to get speech
in the console tty 1-5.
