fortune -f (which should list all files containing fortunes fortune

fortune: /usr/share/games/fortunes: No fortune files in directory.
fortune:/usr/share/games/fortunes not a fortune file or directory
fortune: no place to put residual probability (0%)

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
