Package: festival Version: 1:2.4~release-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
cmu_us_clb_arctic voice is not working anymore. It was working fine until a few months ago or so. I'm installing the cmu_us_clb_arctic voice with this command: cd /usr/share/festival/voices/english/ && wget -c http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/cmu_arctic/packed/cmu_us_clb_arctic-0.95-release.tar.bz2 && tar jxf cmu_us_clb_arctic-0.95-release.tar.bz2 && ln -s cmu_us_clb_arctic cmu_us_clb_arctic_clunits && cp /etc/festival.scm /etc/festival.scm.backup && chmod o+w /etc/festival.scm && echo "(set! voice_default 'voice_cmu_us_clb_arctic_clunits)" >> /etc/festival.scm With fresh install (since approximately May-June 2017), when I try to run echo "hello world" | festival --tts I'm getting this error: SIOD ERROR: unbound variable : voice_cmu_us_clb_arctic_clunits Error evaluating default voice: voice_cmu_us_clb_arctic_clunits continuing -=-=-=-=-=- EST Error -=-=-=-=-=- {FND} Feature Token_Method not defined -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- cmu_us_clb_arctic is the best English voice available which is why it's important. I was using this voice in my project https://github.com/DragonComputer/Dragonfire You can see the quality of this voice by watching this short video: https://youtu.be/krHUzY2DylI By the way if I remember correctly, it's also not working in wheezy/jessie too. I tried to find the source of the problem but I couldn't figure it out. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers xenial-updates APT policy: (500, 'xenial-updates'), (500, 'xenial-security'), (500, 'xenial'), (100, 'xenial-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.10.0-33-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages festival depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3ubuntu4 ii alsa-utils 1.1.0-0ubuntu5 ii libc6 2.23-0ubuntu9 ii libestools2.4 1:2.4~release-1build1 ii libgcc1 1:6.0.1-0ubuntu1 ii libstdc++6 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4 ii lsb-base 9.20160110ubuntu0.2 ii sgml-base 1.26+nmu4ubuntu1 Versions of packages festival recommends: ii festvox-kallpc16k [festival-voice] 1.4.0-6 Versions of packages festival suggests: pn festival-freebsoft-utils <none> pn pidgin-festival <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/festival.scm changed: ;; WARNING: It is inherently insecure to run a festival instance as a ;; server, mainly because it exposes the whole system to exploits which ;; can be easily used by attackers to gain access to your ;; computer.
