Correction to installation errors of "fortune"
On my Knoppix/Debian unstable system and using aptitude
for installation, "fortune" functioned normally when
installing only the basic packages.
After installation of fortune-off, fortune-mod, and other
collections of fortunes, fortune became unknown ("Unrecognized
command: fortune"). Aptitude reported fortune as installed
so I deduced that the location of the command had changed.
It was now located "whereis fortune" at "/usr/games/fortune".
"/usr/games" was added to my PATH system-variable by "PATH=
$PATH:/usr/games" and normal functioning of fortune resumed.
I've have been unable to learn the current maintainer
of the fortune package to inform them of this problem.
