Bug#414206: [Debian-hebrew-package] Bug#414206: neither 'hcal' nor 'hdate' work

[kobi zamir]

hello,

on my x86, unstable, hdate/hcal run as expected.
i can get the help message by giving bad parameters, e.g

# hcal 0 0 0
hcal - example program for libhdate

USAGE: hcal [-hid]    [[month] year]
OPTIONS:
   -h : Print html format.
   -d : Use diaspora reading and holidays.
   -i : Use external css file "./hcal.css".

but i can not reproduce this error without parameters.

can you try and compile the package from source and see if it is a
deb-package thing. it may be a problem with the up stream source on
ppc (?)

code is in libhdate.sf.net:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=63109
and compiling instructions are here:
http://libhdate.sourceforge.net/install.html
