Wow, I see this package has not been updated in quite some time. I believe that I used aptitude search to find it, or possibly Google search. I was looking at both resources for a tool to build speaking into a script/program to notify me of completion, as my builds have (Popup Visual) notification now, but if I'm in full screen (movie) or not looking, it will fade away after about 10 seconds (full screen - misses it all). If this package is listed, and !maintained && !working, it should be removed, or just fix the simple missing/misplaced parentheses, bracket, missing semi-colon, or whatever it is, as I sent details in the error report. I may fork, fix, and push. If the package works, or can work, it is stupid to remove a resource from the Ubuntu family for a semi-colon!
