Package: speech-dispatcher
Version: 0.6.7~rc1-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Hello,

the package does not install or rather start cleanly - it results in 
speech-dispatcher
moaning about a non-existing directory:

Setting up speech-dispatcher (0.6.7~rc1-1) ...
Starting Speech Dispatcher: speech-dispatcher[Wed Jan  7 20:16:55 2009 :
974696] speechd: Speech Dispatcher 0.6.7-rc1 starting
[Wed Jan  7 20:16:55 2009 : 975542] speechd: Directory .speech-dispatcher
not found in home

It seems to run in an endless loop. Anyway after rebooting the same
happened since /etc/default/speech-dispatcher is set to YES it'll be run
at boot time. Even a clear ctrl+c to end the process at boot time does not
work and has not any effect - the mashine/bootprocess will just 'freeze'.

To gain control again, I had to boot in singleusermode and remove the package
manually.

If you wonder about the versions (its not pure lenny) then I have to say
that it didnt work with lenny packages either, thats why I tried pinning
them from sid - which did not help it at all :(


regards,
Patrick
