OpenDict is in Universe too, so this is no reason for it to depend on espeak over festival. We currently get this package unmodified from Debian, and if we were to apply this change then we would have to maintain the patch until it is adopted elsewhere. In short, I think that the drawbacks outweigh the gains here.
Please file a bug with Debian if you'd like to try and get this change incorporated there and then we will get it automatically. ** Changed in: opendict (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- OpenDict in Ubuntu should use espeak instead of festival as default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235237 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
