fwiw, also etch. I can only guess charset clash (ASCII/utf-8), and it
knows not to bother opening anything as it knows it can't translate? Guess.
I normally use ISO8859-1, but the locale setting doesn't make a difference.
The installed data files only use ASCII anyway. Actually, I really can't
see much potential for something as simple as "fortune" to go wrong ;-)
I just tried an ages old fortune program that I still had around, which
(after adjusting the path of the data files with a symlink) works fine
with the Debian data files ...
