Any ideas?

I bet it is producing output *somewhere*, the question is *where*.
That would be pretty amazing, because it isn't even trying to -
as already said, when it strace what it does, I can see it opening
and reading a whole bunch of date files, but it does not issue a
single "write" syscall.
There also should be al necessary packages installed (unless there
is something essential missing in the dependencies):
# dpkg -l fortune*|grep ii
ii fortune-mod 1.99.1-3.1 provides fortune cookies on demand
ii fortunes 1.99.1-3.1 Data files containing fortune cookies
ii fortunes-min 1.99.1-3.1 Data files containing fortune cookies
Ahh, I should read more closely. My bad.
