I thank you for it. The solution is simple; the init script just exits if RUN_FESTIVAL is set to no. I have now modified it not to exit in case RUN_FESTIVAL is no, so that even if that is the case, festival is started, and even when start is specified, I restart festival to ensure that the process goes smoothly. This may seem an ugly hack, but works OK for festival. I'll think about a better way later, though. Thanks.

tags 465094 + moreinfo thanks Dear Wolfgang, Thank you for the bug report.

Vaguely, this is what happens for me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/GIT/festival] sudo dpkg -i festival_1.96~beta-5_i386.deb (Reading database ... 277003 files and directories currently installed.)

Setting up festival (1.96~beta-5) ... * Starting Festival server festival [ ok ] Could you please tell me if you were running an older festival? I wish to know the situation where this bug occurs. The simplest solution, I guess, would be to use a preinst script to stop festival before the install. Thanks.
