Description-en: display a calendar and the date of Easter
 This package contains the "ncal" program and the traditional "cal"
 program, both are commonly found on BSD-style systems. This utility displays a
 simple calendar in a traditional or an alternative and more advanced layout,
 and the date of Easter.


If you "moved to bullseye" by performing an upgrade, you should still
have this command.  If you "moved" by wiping the system and installing
bullseye from scratch, then I guess you just have to install the ncal
package manually.
