up when it tries to reconfigure the package and I posted this output sometime ago but 
never heard back.  What should I do to get it working in Buster?  Nick Gawronski

        I found that file exactly as you indicated and added
/bin.  Here it is:

[Unit]
Description=Software speech output for Speakup
Documentation=man:espeakup(8)
Wants=systemd-udev-settle.service
After=systemd-udev-settle.service sound.target

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/run/espeakup.pid
Environment="VOICE= ALSA_CARD="
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/espeakup
ExecStart=sh -c '/bin/modprobe speakup_soft && /usr/bin/espeakup -V ${VOICE}'

/bin/ has to be added before sh, not before modprobe.
