Have you installed the fortunes package? From within R you can go
install.packages("fortunes")
If you have already installed it then there is something deeper going on.

However, when I tried it on my machine, I get
rajulocal@hogwarts:~/work/r_programming$ R -q
fortunes::fortune(92)
Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ‘fortunes’
What package(s) do I need to install to get fortune in R? I tried
doing a "apt-cache search fortune R" but none of the hits look
promising. I am using Debian Jessie.
rajulocal@hogwarts:~/work/r_programming$ dpkg -l \*fortune\* r-base | grep ^ii
ii fortune-mod 1:1.99.1-7 amd64 provides fortune
cookies on demand
ii fortunes-min 1:1.99.1-7 all Data files containing
selected fortune cookies
ii r-base 3.1.1-1 all GNU R statistical
computation and graphics system
thanks
