[Bug 948884] Re: mbrola is unable to pronounce the French word "les"

[Luc.Deschenaux]

this problem with ending wovels is very annoying

echo te le se ty ly sy py gy ta la sa |  espeak -v mb-fr1  # only sy
sounds good (like english 'e' ) py and gy sounds like english 'i'
instead, and other ending french e and a vowels sound is missing

With espeak_1.45.04 only py and gy sounds bad ('i' instead of 'e')

So in the meanwhile i use version 1.45.04, and i block package update
with dpkg --set-selection

block update: (unblock with 'install' instead of 'hold')
echo espeak hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo espeak-data hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo libespeak1 hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
