Bugzilla Bug 20145

Reading through 'man fortune' I get:

[SNIP]
FILES
       Note: these are the defaults as defined at compile time.

       /var/tmp/portage/fortune-mod-9708-r1/image//usr/share/fortune
              Directory for innoffensive fortunes.
       /var/tmp/portage/fortune-mod-9708-r1/image//usr/share/fortune/off
              Directory for offensive fortunes.

       If a particular set of fortunes is particularly unwanted, there  is  an
       easy  solution:  delete the associated .dat file.  This leaves the data
       intact, should the file later be wanted, but since  fortune  no  longer
       finds the pointers file, it ignores the text file.
[/SNIP]

Note the mention of "/var/tmp/portage/fortune-mod-9708-r1/image/".

Updated ebuild with applied changes.

heres a better workaround:
dosed "s:${T}::" /usr/share/man/man6/fortune.6

the 'portage' way of doing it you might say ;)

fixed in cvs
