libttspico0 & libttspico-utils missing in Buster

[jerrm]

libttspico0 & libttspico-utils are in Debian but not Raspbian - https://packages.debian.org/buster/libttspico-utils.

Can they be added to Raspbian?

We don't build contrib/non-free (though we do import architecture independent binaries), sorry.

Hello, okay and how can i fix it by my self? My Linux skills are not the best.

[jerrm (jerrm)]

Easiest method is to just add the Debian non-free armhf repo to raspbian and install the Debian binaries.

Proceed at your own risk. Works OK for here.

wget -q https://ftp-master.debian.org/keys/release-10.asc -O- | apt-key add -
echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install libttspico0

or without adding the repo:
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/s/svox/libttspico0_1.0+git20130326-9_armhf.deb
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/s/svox/libttspico-utils_1.0+git20130326-9_armhf.deb
apt-get install -f ./libttspico0_1.0+git20130326-9_armhf.deb ./libttspico-utils_1.0+git20130326-9_armhf.deb

Thx Jerm, that works for me.

[Stefan Wollner (blackbox123)]

Sorry Jerm,

but it only works on my Raspberry PI 2+ and Raspberry PI 3+.

My RaspberryPI Zero have a error when I try to start pico2wave. It give "Illegal instruction" back.

You can see this in the attachment.

You have a idea?

[jerrm (jerrm)]

Sorry, older Pis and zeros are off my radar.

_Debian_ armhf isn't compatible with the older Pi and zero CPUs.

You should be able to grab the old jessie packages from the Raspbian archive and install manually:

wget http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/s/svox/libttspico-utils_1.0+git20130326-3+rpi1_armhf.deb

wget http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/s/svox/libttspico0_1.0+git20130326-3+rpi1_armhf.deb

apt-get install -f ./libttspico0_1.0+git20130326-3+rpi1_armhf.deb ./libttspico-utils_1.0+git20130326-3+rpi1_armhf.deb

[Stefan Wollner (blackbox123)]

Hello Jerm,

thx a lot. You are the hero of my week.

Great job jerrm!
I only have buster os whezzy. Any chance to make it work :

./simple_google_tts fr-fr "bonjour"
Error: missing dependencies. Couldn't find: sox

root@rpi:~/svox/simple-google-tts# ./simple_google_tts en-en "Hello"
Error: missing dependencies. Couldn't find: sox

Also a hundred of messages:
E: La version « libttspico-utils_1.0+git20130326-3+rpi1_armhf.deb » from <lot of places> est introuvable (cannot be found)

[Michel (michel92)]

Last error coming from :
apt-get install -f ./libttspico0_1.0+git20130326-3+rpi1_armhf.deb ./libttspico-utils_1.0+git20130326-3+rpi1_armhf.deb

[Michel (michel92)]

After lots of wget and dpkg -i I gave up!
But when I tried before going to bed IT WAS WORKING!

I think YOU solved it

Many thanks jerrm
Michel

For Buster, use espeak (french):
