That will not be enough.


As mentioned previously on the debian-accessibility mailing list
(really, that is where this kind of knowledge lives), version
1:0.80-5+deb9u2 unfortunately had a bug that needs to be fixed by hand:

A workaround is to fix the issue
by hand in /lib/systemd/system/espeakup.service, by adding /bin/ to

ExecStart=sh -c 'modprobe speakup_soft && /usr/bin/espeakup -V ${VOICE}'

so it looks like

ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'modprobe speakup_soft && /usr/bin/espeakup -V "${VOICE}"'


Then you will be able to upgrade the package to version 1:0.80-5+deb9u3
normally.
