Hi all I just did apt-get update apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade
and got the following error
speechd: Directory .speech-dispatcher not found in home invoke-rc.d:
initscript speech-dispatcher, action "start" failed
any idea how to fix this? dpkg --configure -f tells me there's missing
dependentcies.
thanks
kyle
