[Bug 1055007] Re: cal output differs between 10.04.4 LTS and 12.04 LTS

[Rolf Leggewie]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your
description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful
to read "How to report bugs effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

In particular, I am not sure why you think that a difference in output
between program releases would be a bug.  Is one output wrong and the
other is correct?  Please give more detail.

FWIW, I can confirm that "diff -B <( cal ) <( cal -h )" differs on 12.04
but not on 10.04.4.  Not sure where exactly the bug would be, though.
In precise? In lucid? In both?

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!
