Sorry, I hadn't seen your initial response I was using the fortune program to show me random Italian quotes to work on learning the language. Before I could just point fortune at the folder with all the Italian fortunes. That's no longer easy without them in a separate folder.
So in my .bashrc I have if [[ -x /usr/games/fortune ]]; then if [[ -d /usr/share/games/fortunes/it ]]; then /usr/games/fortune /usr/share/games/fortunes/it elif type dpkg > /dev/null; then # As of v2, debian's fortunes-it package no longer puts the # fortunes in a separate directory. dpkg -L fortunes-it | grep "/usr/share/games/fortunes/" | grep -v \\. | xargs -r /usr/games/fortune fi fi The call to dpkg is an obvious kludge. I'm surprised all the debian fortune maintainers don't have a convention/best practice around this. I'm just end-user, so take my opinion/usage with a grain of salt. (To be fair, I could just uninstall the other fortune-providing packages.)
