Curious as to the reason it was removed I did a bit of searching whch 
turned up:

  Reason: Requested by vela@; orphaned, bugs, previous maintainer
  considers it obsoleted by better alternatives, dead upstream

  Please switch to one of the following programs: korganizer, plan,
  xcal, xcalendar-i18n, xdkcal

I guess the ones listed above if you haven't tried them. Not really a 
calendar using person myself, so I'm afraid I can't offer opinions on them 
myself.

I have played with the Mozilla Calendar a bit 
(http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/). Seems fairy good. Supports 
the iCal standard and WebDAV. Still work to be done on it from what I 
gather.
