Package: fortunes
Version: 1:1.99.1-3.1
Severity: minor

In /usr/share/games/fortunes/songs-poems, there is a 'translation' of
"Santa Claus is coming to town".  It includes the stanza:

        who | grep sleeping
        who | grep awake
        who | grep bad || good
        for (goodness sake) {
                be good
        }

The 'grep bad || good' command doesn't actually look for who is "bad or good";
it looks for those who are bad, and if there are none, executes the 'good'
command.  The line should be fixed to read:

        who | grep 'bad\|good'

or

        who | egrep 'bad|good'

 --scott (demanding accuracy from my parodies)
