Title: fortune: no place to put residual probability when using more than two databases

[linux36524]

Body:

I’m running into an issue with fortune when trying to use multiple personal databases with percentage-based selection.

For example, this works fine:

fortune \
    55% $HOME/.config/fortune/001 \
    45% $HOME/.config/fortune/002

Any combination of two databases displays fortunes correctly.

However, when I try to use more databases like this:

fortune \
    55% $HOME/.config/fortune/001 \
    45% $HOME/.config/fortune/002 \
    10% $HOME/.config/fortune/003 \
    10% $HOME/.config/fortune/004 \
    5% $HOME/.config/fortune/005

I get the error:

fortune: no place to put residual probability (60%)

All the directories contain .dat files generated with strfile. Each directory has at least one fortune. Using only any two databases works fine.

I’m not sure why adding more databases causes this residual probability error. Has anyone encountered this before, or is there a proper way to configure multiple databases with percentages in fortune?

@linux36524 : hi. maybe the sums of percentages cannot exceed "100%"

@linux36524 : hi. maybe the sums of percentages cannot exceed "100%"

Even with this configuration:
text

fortune
55% $HOME/.config/fortune/001
20% $HOME/.config/fortune/002
10% $HOME/.config/fortune/003
10% $HOME/.config/fortune/004
5% $HOME/.config/fortune/005

It still shows the error:

fortune: no place to put residual probability (60%)

It only works correctly when using two files.
