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'être.
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
