The dateutils project on github was started only six weeks ago, so we can hope that it's still possible for them to rename the binary. Maybe dateutils's upstream isn't even aware of this file collision?
I suggest tagging gcal and dateutils as blocking each other until such time as dateutils upstream clears up the issue.
tcal has been renamed to tconv in the upstream git repo: <https://github.com/hroptatyr/dateutils/commit/13ed6386>
Fixed in CVS.
