Bug#302572: Fortunes-es contains offensive quotes that should be in fortunes-es-off
Package: fortunes-es
Version: 1.17
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
Spanish fortune files containing grafitti, proverbs and other quotations
include highly offensive ones such as "Las mujeres son como las leyes: hay
que violarlas" [Women are like laws: they are there to be broken <raped>]
and "¿Qué es una mujer? Lo que hay alrededor del coño" [What is a woman?
What is around the cunt].
This works against the expected behaviour of the fortunemod program, which
(as per its manpage) allows you to request or avoid potentially offensive
quotations by segregating them into two different databases, the second
marked -off.
Package description for fortunes-es-off states: "A collection of mostly
offensive Spanish fortune cookies, from various sources. DO NOT INSTALL
this package unless you really want to read offensive fortunes. Package
fortunes-es contains mainly non-offensife fortunes in Spanish."
Suggested fix: review fortunes-es and move offensive quotations to
fortunes-es-off. Attached list is intended to show the severity of the
problem, and not to serve as an exhaustive list to use as a blueprint
for the fix.
