Title:
  Many fortunes point to dead URLs

Status in fortunes-ubuntu-server package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The following fortunes in /usr/share/games/fortunes/ubuntu-server-tips
  contain URLs that are no longer valid:

  'etckeeper' allows you to save changes you make to /etc in a bazaar
  repository.  Useful to track and revert
  changes. http://tinyurl.com/etckeeper (The URL registered at tinyurl.com points to https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/etckeeper.html.)

  Need a little refresh on networking concept? Take a look at the networking
  section of the server guide.
  https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/networking.html

  Keep your servers time in sync, use the ntpd package.
  https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/NTP.html

  Package updates can be automated on your server using the
  unattended-upgrades package.
  https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/automatic-updates.html

  These could be fixed by pointing to the most recent (or perhaps the
  next) LTS release server guide URL.  Even better would be for the
  installer script to grab the version of Ubuntu from the installation
  and create the URL on the fly.  Maybe I'll submit a patch that does
  this.
