I think this is a bug that was fixed a long time ago. The version of Orca in
Lenny is very old. Your best option is to upgrade to the latest packages in
the testing repository - upgrading your entire system would be the easiest way
to go. This will give you Orca 2.30.2. Orca -t works for me under this
version.
