Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 8.0.3
Severity: normal
Previously, the "cal" command allowed to select the first day of the week
displayed through the -s and -m options.
Those options are not available anymore. This change seems to be in
contradiction with what the man page says:
"The output of the cal command is supposed to be bit for bit compatible to the
original Unix cal command,
because its output is processed by other programs like CGI scripts, that should
not be broken."
There seems to be no other way to select the first day of the week being
displayed. Changing LANG may have other
side effects, like changing the name of the days displayed, hence making it an
unsuitable work-around.
I suppose that this can hence be considered as a functional regression.
