Bug#479062: fortune-mod: cannot select english fortunes having the non-English locale
tags 479062 moreinfo unreproducible stop Thank you for reporting this bug. I am a little confused by the behaviour you describe. By default, fortune-mod installs fortune-min, which only contains english fortunes. Installing a database of fortunes matching your locale doesn't imply fortune will only pick those. Anyway, I tried to set ru_UA.utf8 as a locale and to install your same fortunes packages, but couldn't reproduce the bug.

This seem exactely what upstream developers wanted, I suppose, but I agree that it's kinda weird that one can extract fortunes in each language except the english. I'll think about how to fix the issue. fortune-mod code does a lot of weird things wrt to fortune extraction and locales management, probably I'll rewrite much of it in a sane way. -- Andrea Colangelo | http://andreacolangelo.com Ubuntu Developer | Debian Maintainer signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#285561: Many Robert G. Ingersoll fortunes should not be marked offensive
tags 285561 wontfix thanks Thank you for reporting this bug. I agree with your POV here, I don't think (most of) Ingersoll quotes are offensive. Anyway, I am reluctant to move them out of off. This work should be done by upstream, rather than by the debian maintainer (I am adopting fortune-mod, BTW). OTOH, upstream seems vanished here, and not responding to my mails. I plan to start working on fortune-mod as upstream too, deeply reviewing all of the fortune database (which has several duplicated and other inconsistencies) and fixing lots of bugs. When this effort starts, I'll take a decision about this issue too.
