Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 8.0.11
Severity: normal
In my locale Monday is the first day of the week. I haven't tested if
this is reproducible in another locale, using -M instead.
Trying to print the current month:
$ ncal
May 2010
Mo 3 10 17 24 31
Tu 4 11 18 25
We 5 12 19 26
Th 6 13 20 27
Fr 7 14 21 28

ncal and ncal -M have the same, correct output. 1st of May 2010 is a
Saturday. If I pass in -S though, I'd expect 1st of May 2010 to still
bhe a saturday, even if the last day of the week. So I would expect
something like:
(expected output):
May 2010
Su 2 9 16 23 30
Mo 3 10 17 24 31
Tu 4 11 18 25
We 5 12 29 26
Th 6 13 20 27
Fr 7 14 21 28
Sa 1 8 15 22 29
Instead it changed what day of the week each day is, which is clearly
incorrect. Same happens printing a whole year, with that option.
