Bug ID: 244801
Summary: ncal prints bogus information for Julian/Gregorian
change date
Product: Base System
Version: Unspecified
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]

ncal -p prints a table with the transition date from Julian to Gregorian for
some, but by no means all, "countries". It also includes an entry for the
country "Latin", with a transition date 9999-5-31. The commit log for revision
r45064 clarifies that this is because 9999-12-12 is out of range.
It's not clear why this entry was ever added. Many real countries (Armenia and
Azerbaijan, for example) aren't in this list. Arguably the entire
functionality should be removed; it's not needed for anything else in the
program, and more up-to-date information is now readily available on the web
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_adoption_dates_of_the_Gregorian_calendar_per_country
for example). I would suggest at least removing the entry for "Latin".
