With version 3.12.0, fortune stopped to display fortunes under /usr/local/share/fortune where I have my own fortunes I care for. Please bring that path back as without, fortunes is of only little help for me.
Ah, I set -DLOCALDIR="/usr/share/fortune", and I think it should have a local in it.

Originally, we were setting LOCALDIR=COOKIEDIR=/usr/share/fortune to workaround the issue, but see https://bugs.gentoo.org/857246.

I'm sorry about the hassle. It's now fixed upstream too.
