Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Tiago M. C. (tiagocasal)]

In a common installation with "sudo apt-get install espeakup", it gives error and does not conclude.
The error does not occur when the kernel module "espeakup_soft" was previously loaded before installation: "sudo modprobe speakup_soft && sudo apt-get install espeakup".
