Dear Maintainer,
it seems that the output for week numbers for 2021 is incorrect:
$ LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8 ncal -w3
November 2020 Dezember 2020 Januar 2021
Mo 2 9 16 23 30 7 14 21 28 4 11 18 25
Di 3 10 17 24 1 8 15 22 29 5 12 19 26
Mi 4 11 18 25 2 9 16 23 30 6 13 20 27
Do 5 12 19 26 3 10 17 24 31 7 14 21 28
Fr 6 13 20 27 4 11 18 25 1 8 15 22 29
Sa 7 14 21 28 5 12 19 26 2 9 16 23 30
So 1 8 15 22 29 6 13 20 27 3 10 17 24 31
44 45 46 47 48 49 49 50 51 52 1 1 2 3 4 5
Here January 2021 starts with week 1 on Friday, the 1st of January.
The manpage for ncal(1) mentions:
STANDARDS
[...]
The week number computed by -w is compliant with the ISO 8601
specification.
ISO 8601 computes the week number depending on the year in which
Thursday occurs, so 2020 should end on a Thursday with week 53.
The same call on a system with bsdmainutils 11.1.2+b1 displays the
correct week numbers, with week 53 spanning over the two years, and
week 1 starting with 2021-01-04.
