Hi, Andrew, Looking how imperative bug title sounds I thought I missed a GR on this or at least a detailed discussion with a clear conclusion before this bug is filed with this severity. The only thing I found was this thread in debian-project https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2023/08/threads.html#00044 This thread started after fortunes-off removal and I think it had no clear conclusion, leaving to maintainers to decide on individual -off packages. You are one of the contributors, so I will not go into the details. I am not current fortunes-es maintainer, but did some work in initial steps of the package and have been tracking it since then. I prepared initial version of the off section trying to strip everything that I considered not apropriate even for this section (explicit calls for violence should not be here, as well as things of too low quality). I added some fortunes with fun on males or females that I considered could even get a smile from supposed target. They are in the off package only because some people have a very low offense threshold and this helps to deal with this. So, I fully agree with fortunes-it-off maintainer when closing #1109167 and #1109165. Package is not automatically installed and AFAIR there has never been complaints about anyone that was offended by this -off package, so should be fine. There may be bad fortunes that were not detected by my filters at that time or by maintainer's filters later. If so, please file bug reports on them. Regarding this bug report I would close it as fortunes-it-off bug has been closed. Regards, -- Agustin
