Issue

Initial installation of this repo and running 'fortune oblique' returns
No fortunes found
Running 'fortune oblique.dat' gives the output:
/usr/share/games/fortunes/oblique.dat not a fortune file or directory

System information

Files are in the correct directory on my system. I am running Ubuntu kernel 5.3.0-51-generic.
Installed fortune through package manager.

Steps to reproduce:

• clean fortunes
• Clone the repository
  -copy the oblique* files to the fortunes folder
• run fortune oblique

Steps to fix

rebuild the index (oblique.dat) file.
After running strfile -c % oblique oblique.dat on my local files the issue was solved for me.
