Related, on Ubuntu 18.04, the fortune program provided by the fortune-
mod package doesn't work at all if the only fortune packages installed
are not in English. I have the fortune-mod, fortunes-es, and fortunes-
es-off packages installed, but when I run /usr/games/fortune (with or
without the -a option) it fails:
$ fortune [-a]
fortune: /usr/share/games/fortunes: No fortune files in directory.
fortune:/usr/share/games/fortunes not a fortune file or directory
No fortunes found
If I manually specify the Spanish fortune directories then it works:
$ fortune /usr/share/games/fortunes/es /usr/share/games/fortunes/es/off
<prints a fortune in Spanish>
My system is configured to use English as the main language, in case
that's relevant.
** Also affects: fortunes-es (Ubuntu)
