Ahh.  Are you in the games group?  If not, that's probably why.

If so, check the permissions of fortune's data files (dpkg -L fortunes-data, 
or something like that should help).  If installing an older fortunes-data 
file from debian's pool helps, the current package probably installs files 
with incorrect permissions.

Can't think of much else, sorry.
