Package: festival
Version: 1.4.3-22
Severity: normal

Thanks for maintaining debian's festival package.

As I was asked, I'm testing the latest version
from unstable.

The following command

    $ apt-get install festival festival-doc festlex-cmu festvox-kallpc16k 
festvox-kdlpc16k

reported this error

    adduser: No options allowed after names.
    dpkg: error processing festival (--configure):
    subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255

I see in

    /var/lib/dpkg/info/festival.postinst

the following line

    adduser festival --quiet --system --ingroup audio --no-create-home

It turned out that festival called adduser with a
syntax that's proscribed by the version of adduser
that I was using: 3.49. Upgrading the adduser
package to version 3.105, and repeating the above
apt-get command, solved the problem.

Please either 

1.) make festival depend on a recent version of
adduser or 

2.) improve the syntax of the call to adduser.

Thanks,
Kingsley
