Some things have been snipped above while I hope I left enough of Paul's latest feedback to give it due Respect. :) Simultaneous in my inbox is a different bug about Synaptic possibly keeping Orca from operating while Synaptic is open. It's this Bug #859262. Synaptic "freezes Orca screen reader" https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=859262 Is something like that maybe a possibility? Seeing the word "Synaptic" also originally made me wonder if our *_CHOICE_* of package managers is affecting things somehow. In my case, I have neither Synaptic nor Orca open because I don't use those. I only use "apt-get" via terminal interface for my package management. One thing is that I still don't know how to actually test speechd-up's functionality. For now, all I know is that it appeared to have successfully, initially installed with no complaints (via "apt-get install speechd-up"). Another factor in my install attempt is that mine was a brand new install. There was no residual "clutter" of past installs that could potentially also be causing unknown complications.
