"fortune -o" (offensive fortunes) no fortunes found

  • 772

I downloaded fortunes but I can't get any offensive fortunes.

From fortune man page

-o Choose only from potentially offensive aphorisms. The -o option is ignored if a fortune directory is specified.

I've tried:

$ sudo apt install fortune-mod
$ sudo apt install fortunes-min
$ sudo apt install fortunes
$ fortune -o
No Fortunes Found
bash fortune

    Based on the results of apt-cache search --names-only fortunes, it looks like the package you need (at least for offensiveness in the English language) is fortunes-off

    fortunes-off - Data files containing offensive fortune cookies

    To install it run: 

    sudo apt install fortunes-off
