I did a fresh install, and apparently "ncal" wasn't installed by default.
"apt-cache showpkg ncal" tells me that only bsdmainutils depends on it.
"apt-cache showpkg bsdmainutils" gives me a fairly significant list of
packages that depend on bsdmainutils, including man-db.
So, I guess you did a VERY minimal install. man-db is a "standard"
package, so it should have been included in any reasonable installation.
If you do an utterly bare installation, not even including Standard,
you should expect to have a bunch of stuff missing.
Nope. Did a full install with a variety of "tasks". The man-db package
is installed, and I didn't manually install it.
