creating a speakup cli cd

[John G. Heim]

It's not clear if you want help with this problem. But something to try 
is to do an 'apt-get update' before doing an 'apt-get install'.  Apt-get 
can error out if the package list needs to be updated but it doesn't 
give a meaningful error message. If the update doesn't work then you 
probably have a problem with your network connection.
