Package: bsdmainutils Version: 11.1.2+b1 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/ncal
Dear Maintainer, According to the man page for ncal, its strangely compact output was designed specifically so it will fit an entire year on an 80 column by 25 row screen. At some point somebody made an "improvement" to ncal which added two extra blank lines between the months. This defeats ncal's raison d'ĂȘtre. Please remove the extra blank lines. (Lines 10 and 19 in the listing below.) What I would expect: $ ncal -y | wc -l 25 What currently is output: $ ncal -y | wc -l 27 $ ncal -y | cat -n 1 2020 2 January February March April 3 Su 5 12 19 26 2 9 16 23 1 8 15 22 29 5 12 19 26 4 Mo 6 13 20 27 3 10 17 24 2 9 16 23 30 6 13 20 27 5 Tu 7 14 21 28 4 11 18 25 3 10 17 24 31 7 14 21 28 6 We 1 8 15 22 29 5 12 19 26 4 11 18 25 1 8 15 22 29 7 Th 2 9 16 23 30 6 13 20 27 5 12 19 26 2 9 16 23 30 8 Fr 3 10 17 24 31 7 14 21 28 6 13 20 27 3 10 17 24 9 Sa 4 11 18 25 1 8 15 22 29 7 14 21 28 4 11 18 25 10 11 May June July August 12 Su 3 10 17 24 31 7 14 21 28 5 12 19 26 2 9 16 23 30 13 Mo 4 11 18 25 1 8 15 22 29 6 13 20 27 3 10 17 24 31 14 Tu 5 12 19 26 2 9 16 23 30 7 14 21 28 4 11 18 25 15 We 6 13 20 27 3 10 17 24 1 8 15 22 29 5 12 19 26 16 Th 7 14 21 28 4 11 18 25 2 9 16 23 30 6 13 20 27 17 Fr 1 8 15 22 29 5 12 19 26 3 10 17 24 31 7 14 21 28 18 Sa 2 9 16 23 30 6 13 20 27 4 11 18 25 1 8 15 22 29 19 20 September October November December 21 Su 6 13 20 27 4 11 18 25 1 8 15 22 29 6 13 20 27 22 Mo 7 14 21 28 5 12 19 26 2 9 16 23 30 7 14 21 28 23 Tu 1 8 15 22 29 6 13 20 27 3 10 17 24 1 8 15 22 29 24 We 2 9 16 23 30 7 14 21 28 4 11 18 25 2 9 16 23 30 25 Th 3 10 17 24 1 8 15 22 29 5 12 19 26 3 10 17 24 31 26 Fr 4 11 18 25 2 9 16 23 30 6 13 20 27 4 11 18 25 27 Sa 5 12 19 26 3 10 17 24 31 7 14 21 28 5 12 19 26 Thanks! -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages bsdmainutils depends on: ii bsdutils 1:2.33.1-0.1 ii debianutils 4.8.6.1 ii libbsd0 0.9.1-2 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libtinfo6 6.1+20181013-2+deb10u2 bsdmainutils recommends no packages.
