Package: fortune-mod
Version: 1.99.1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
As mentioned on Debian-project mailing list:
This is no longer appropriate for Debian. Fortunes-off binary package has
been removed: can we remove the data files, please.
These were questioned by upstream as early as 1997. They contain ethnic and
homophobic content and also Nazism quotes from Mein Kampf - none of these
would fit Debian Codes of Conduct today. A complaint has been raised.
It would seem sensible to remove these quotes and content immediately prior
to the release of Debian Bookworm
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
* What was the outcome of this action?
* What outcome did you expect instead?
