/usr/bin/cal moved to its own package (ncal) in bsdmainutils upload 12.1.3. This is the version included in current stable and newer; but it's after the version in oldstable (buster). IOW, On buster, if you had installed bsdmainutils, you would get /usr/bin/cal. bsdmainutils is Priority: important in buster but only Priority: optional in stable onwards. That priority applies to all the binary packages built from the source, including ncal. Quoting the Debian FAQ: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/pkg-basics.en.html#priority > If you do a default Debian installation all the packages of priority > Standard or higher will be installed in your system. If you select > pre-defined tasks you will get lower priority packages too. So installing Buster, you would get /usr/bin/cal by default. Installing anything newer, and you don't. On upgrade from Buster, bsdmainutils will no longer provide /usr/bin/cal. There's no dependency in place to automatically pull in the ncal package, you have to do that yourself. -- Please do not CC me for listmail. 👱🏻 Jonathan Dowland ✎ jmtd@debian.org 🔗 https://jmtd.net
