I'll say it the installer is broke!!!!!
I've had it install orca and company also.
The last install I did using the installer I had a great number of packages that had to be removed as I wanted a somewhat minimum install.   Remove all the cuft took too long and the animosity from the debian folks was well over the top.
Any way I don't use debian for any new installs any more having gone to Archlinux.
Arch was way less trouble and I got what I wanted without removing a ton of installed things I just didn't need.
I have only three systems left running debian and they will be in the dustbin of history soon.

Did I mention the installer is broke!!!!!

If you want to help Debian fix its installer, give some details.
What version did you install?  (The exact image filename is helpful.)
What tasks did you select during the task selection stage?
What hardware device do you suspect led to orca being installed?
If that device is detachable, did you try again after detaching the
device?  If so, what results did you get?

Well.  It sounds like you don't actually want to help.  Unfortunate.

Well not on your life, debian has thrown so much shade at me in 2 years that I won't waste any of my time.
And waste my time it would be because debian won't listen and just throw shade at any information I would give them anyway.
I don't need the non sense.
I don't need the hassle.

Unfortunate for debian, Fortunate for me

BTW I am looking to "sign on/up" to Arch Linux ARM in the new year.
You know build/update/test packages, provide support for them that kind of thing.

That has been posted ad infinitum. Bookworm, netinstall. You all have 
simply choosen to disbelieve me. Gotta be something I did.

the original bookworm net installer, the only usb plugged in was the 
logitek keyboard/ mouse button. NOTHING ELSE was plugged into any usb 
port. IS THIS LOUD ENOUGH?

I would not call it that, but the defense of what I've called a broken 
installer that I've gotten from complaining about it, downright 
insulting in a couple instances is most certainly seen as encouraging 
me/us to switch distro's.

I would in a heartbeat if linuxcnc would build on anything else for 
sure.  It will build on the genuine pi4's, my biggest metal lathe is 
being run by a pi4, so I've done that many times but the interface 
changes are costly at nearly $300 total per machine, 3 machines.  I'd 
have to output nearly $1300 just for that essentially starting from 
square one.  I'd eventually save that in the energy bill, the pi4 and 
its AOC monitor idles at 22 watts, and I've 3 old Dell's burning 200+ 
watts each that would get ripped out.

The question then is will I live long enough to see the savings, I'm 90 
yo now.  DM-II for 45 years, pacemaker, stents in places and a TAVR 
valve in my heart now.  I'm done if that valve fails. Estimated life of 
the TAVR is 10 years, and I'm in year 6 now.

Sure, I think you and Pocket would get on like a house on fire! Why not
give Arch a go while you're at it?

No need to tell us about it though. 😀

The only problem here is that orca is not necessarily installed by the
installer. I do a command line only installation, no X, no desktop,
etc. And it does not install orca. orca is pulled in by "apt install
task-xfce-desktop".

If you really object to having orca, I suggest you find out which
package(s) pull(s) in orca, and see if you can remove it as a
dependency.

On this way it is an optional package (Recommends, not Depends). So Gene 
has something different.

It would be helpful to know exactly what command Gene ran, when he
tried to remove it, and what the result was.

It wouldn't surprise me if Gene did something like "apt remove orca",
saw that it would remove some kind of task-gnome package, and got
frightened and aborted it.

Precisely, it originally wanted to remove  around 78  packages, 
including all of xfce and gnome.  I wasn't sure I'd still have a cli. so 
didn't let that happen, but about 6 months later it did remove orca.I 
otherwise update at least weekly.  Somethng had been changed. But I 
still have this lag.

Gene claimed that he can not remove it, but recommended packages may be 
removed.

gnome (gnome-core in trixie) namely depends on orca. I do not like it, 
but while I am not forced to use gnome, I am not motivated to go deeper.

Aha! My fav, not too much eye candy desktop, been using it on everything 
since at least wheezy. But liking xfce has nothing to do with being 
blind. So how did that dependency sneak into debian ????????? Its not 
part of xfce4 on armbian jammy, no clue about noble yet but it will be 
on my next 3d printer.. So now I know what pulls it in.

But why is it needed on debian????????

On January , 2022, I installed (via USB flash drive):

debian-11.2.0-amd64-netinst


onto a 2.5" SATA III SSD (Intel SSD 520 Series 60 GB) to create 
laalaa.tracy.holgerdanske.com, my current daily driver.  I have moved 
the SSD through various machines, depending upon need and availability.


I have never explicitly requested nor enabled assistive technologies.


I have never heard text-to-speech.


I have accidentally pressed and held keys, and/or my KVM spaghetti may 
have done the same, causing a pop-up that offered assistive technologies 
("sticky keys"?).  I have declined such offers.


Xfce Panel -> Applications -> Settings -> Accessibility -> Assistive 
Technologies shows nothing enabled on any of the tabs.  I do not see any 
settings for text-to-speech.


Once a month, I take a raw image with dd(1) and then update:

# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
# apt-get dist-upgrade
# apt-get autoclean
# apt-get autoremove


The current OS:

2024-12-13 09:02:53 dpchrist@laalaa ~
$ cat /etc/debian_version ; uname -a
11.11
Linux laalaa 5.10.0-33-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.226-1 (2024-10-03)

Do you only remain on this list to repeatedly mention that you use Arch,
actually?

Not a good idea to feed a troll, but this time I can't resist:
possibly pocket is on the Arch list complaining how Arch sucks
and how they're going to switch to Debian.

Or something.

Have you tried to explain your issue to installer developers in a 
*polite* and *constructive* way? Please, post a link to prove it.

You've built a wall around your developers that is light tight. I've got 
a tenner that says they've never seen my complaints. You purposely have 
made it quite difficult to file a bug report, IDK if mine ever got past 
your guardian angels. I did try. I am a many year subscriber to this 
list. Debian has put up road blocks that deflect most attempts to file a 
report at bugs.debian.org. Wrong dot on the i gets it rejected,  Maybe 
debian should start by fixing that batch of pot holes so we CAN file a 
bug report.

Do like the banks do when you've updated your browser, send a code 
number to our registered address to prove we are who we claim to be.  
Its a pita about once a month if you keep your browser up to date, BUT 
IT WORKS.

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.

Hey Gene,

Don't forget: there are Debian developers on this list. You're writing to
one.

People have tried to help you - and sometimes got the brush off.

I have done a few thousand Debian installs: unless I've actually wanted
to use Orca / espeak and a speech installer, I've never had the issues 
you have had.

Some Braille input devices rely on serial / USB -> serial input. It is
just possible that an install with serial cables enabled _might_ 
misidentify as a brltty.

Without error messages, the rest of us can do almost nothing except
guess. We've been asking for specifics from you for *years*

In the middle of your 30 installs I can remember corresponding with
you asking to simplify things - but no dice
.
The installer isn't necessarily broken - hundreds of people use it
every day/week/month - but something you have done at some point has
tripped an edge case, maybe. Without details / a reinstall we will
never, ever know. Complaints without substance to chase down are
just complaints.

As it is, the readers on the list are presented with an X-Y problem
pretty much every month from you.

All best, as ever, and stay well,

Andy Cater

Often because they are asking me to start fresh with clean drives, a 
multiday operation to collect all the stuff I use daily. I have already 
done that, many many times.  It matches Alberts definition of insanity.
