[snip]Hi,
I tried to do yum update today, and I got:
[update: fortune 1.0-30.1.fc2.dries.i386] Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages Download start for fortune.i386 Checking cached RPM fortune-1.0-30.1.fc2.dries.i386.rpm Creating Transaction Set Updating: fortune, i386 Running test transaction: Test transaction complete, Success!

Well, sorry! I should read my own posts more carefully in the future, before posting them. It was all in there, really.
So, as the last mesage clearly states, /usr/games/fortune is a directory (full of other stuff too), while in the new package it is a file, and the corresponding directory is /usr/share/games/fortune
So, its a packaging SNAFU. I guess I'll let dries know.
Sorry to have wasted your time.
