Hello all,

I'm also unable to install espeakup on Debian 9 Stretch with the kernel from backports.

I've the following output when I'm trying to install espeakup:
invoke-rc.d: initscript espeakup, action "start" failed.
● espeakup.service - Software speech output for Speakup
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/espeakup.service; enabled; vendor

Could it be possible to backport the fix to Stretch release?

Best regards,
