unicorn:~$ cat /etc/debian_version 11.0 unicorn:~$ type cal cal is hashed (/usr/bin/cal) unicorn:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/cal ncal: /usr/bin/cal unicorn:~$ apt-cache show ncal | head -n14 Package: ncal Source: bsdmainutils Version: 12.1.7+nmu3 Installed-Size: 68 Maintainer: Debian Bsdmainutils Team <pkg-bsdmainut...@teams.debian.net> Architecture: amd64 Replaces: bsdmainutils (<< 12.1.3) Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libtinfo6 (>= 6) Breaks: bsdmainutils (<< 12.1.3) Description-en: display a calendar and the date of Easter This package contains the "ncal" program and the traditional "cal" program, both are commonly found on BSD-style systems. This utility displays a simple calendar in a traditional or an alternative and more advanced layout, and the date of Easter. If you "moved to bullseye" by performing an upgrade, you should still have this command. If you "moved" by wiping the system and installing bullseye from scratch, then I guess you just have to install the ncal package manually.
