Which fortune version are you using? Older versions of fortune
were not internationalized, but current ones are and are looking into
subdirectories.
Guess at the reason:
the fortune-files are placed in /usr/share/games/fortunes/de/
copying them into /usr/share/games/fortunes/ resolves the error;
fortune starts to crank out german fortunes.
How did you managed to send a bug report without the dependencies
with versions on your machine? Didn't you used reportbug?
Kind regards
Andreas.
