Hello,
This is about fortune package, but I think that might be related also to
base R, so I am sending to package maintainer and R-devel list.
I have the following in my .Rprofile to break monotony of code writing
library(utils)
library(fortunes)
fortune()
detach("package:fortunes")
so I get a fortune every time I start R. It seems that this conflicts
with R CMD INSTALL in latest R-devel on Linux. Two things can happen:
1. R CMD INSTALL fails

My preference goes with the numbering scheme attributed to a tribe on some
island in the Pacific which consists of a 'factor' with four levels: 'one',
'two', 'three', and 'lots'. Hence, I'd go with 'lots of R users'.

number of
R users)
