Package: festival
Version: 1.4.3-22
Severity: normal
Thanks for maintaining debian's festival package.
As I was asked, I'm testing the latest version
from unstable.
The following command
$ apt-get install festival festival-doc festlex-cmu festvox-kallpc16k
festvox-kdlpc16k
reported this error
adduser: No options allowed after names.
dpkg: error processing festival (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255
I see in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/festival.postinst
the following line
adduser festival --quiet --system --ingroup audio --no-create-home
It turned out that festival called adduser with a
syntax that's proscribed by the version of adduser
that I was using: 3.49. Upgrading the adduser
package to version 3.105, and repeating the above
apt-get command, solved the problem.
Please either
1.) make festival depend on a recent version of
adduser or
2.) improve the syntax of the call to adduser.
Thanks,
Kingsley
