What I see in the speech-dispatcher.postinst script is the following:

USER_NAME=speech-dispatcher
HOME_DIR=/var/run/speech-dispatcher

if ! id -u $USER_NAME >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  adduser --quiet --system --ingroup audio \
          --home $HOME_DIR \
          --shell /bin/sh --disabled-login  \
          --gecos 'Speech Dispatcher' $USER_NAME
  chown -R $USER_NAME $HOME_DIR

Can you tell me if you if you have a speech-dispatcher user in your
/etc/passwd and what the home folder is? E.g. "grep speech-dispatcher
/etc/passwd".
