I've found an rical package under the rical project:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=8234

but no ri_cal project:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/ri_cal (which is 404)

If you want to release as the rical project, this should do it:

$ rubyforge config rical
$ rake release

Usually rubyforge correctly adds the package_id, but sometimes it  
seems to forget.

Check your rubyforge_project under `rake debug_gem` to make sure it  
matches.
