Dear Maintainer,
root doesn't have the games path so for example if you try to use fortunes:
"bash: fortune: command not found".
This should be related to the post script of this package.
Changing in /etc/profile the root PATH:
if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
to
"PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games"
works.

Dear Maintainer,
root doesn't have the games path so for example if you try to use fortunes:
"bash: fortune: command not found".
This is intentional and the rationale is that the root user exists to
install new software, admin the system, and so on, but not to play games.
This is also consistent with the PATHs defined in /etc/login.defs.
If your point is that fortune is not really a game and it would make
sense for root to execute it, please reopen and reassign this bug to the
fortune package.
Thanks.
