[SOLVED] bug in the cal? :)

Just noticed a funny behaviour of the cal program...

% cal -n2

Produces calendar for November and December.

% cal -n3

Produces calendar for October, November and December.

% cal -n4

Produces calendar for November, December, January and February.

I don't think it is the expected output... I can post a screenshot of it, if someone doesn't believe it

The version of cal  is 'cal from util-linux 2.27'.

Is it a bug? Where it should be reported?

Hi, it should technically be reported here via the link https://bugs.archlinux.org/ - as well as future bugs.

No - this is clearly not a packaging bug, so it should be reported upstream

I agree, this doesn't look like a packaging bug. But what is the upstream reporting for cal?

UPDATE: Apparently, it is here: http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#util-linux
