[Bug 2126846] [NEW] Util-linux no longer includes cal

 

Public bug reported:

I use the cal function often on linux. The ubuntu 24.04 package does not
contain cal.

I just fetched the source, and built it locally and the cal command is
built successfully

1.    sudo apt-get build-dep util-linuxw
2. apt-get source util-linux
3. cd util-linux*
4. sh autogen.sh
5. ./configure --prefix=$HOME/FOO
6. make -j4 
7. make install


Sure enough, $HOME/FOO/bin/cal exists
