Package: systemd-cron
Version: 1.3.1+ds1-1
Severity: important

Ranges without steps (1-12) are not correctly parsed by systemd-crontab-generator.

For example, the line:

55-59 11 * * 1-6	true

results in the following:

$ ./systemd-crontab-generator /tmp/test
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./systemd-crontab-generator", line 273, in <module>
    for job in parse_crontab(filename, withuser=False):
  File "./systemd-crontab-generator", line 125, in parse_crontab
    'm': parse_time_unit(minutes, MINUTES_SET),
  File "./systemd-crontab-generator", line 138, in parse_time_unit
    map(parse_period(mapping), value.split(','))), set())))
  File "./systemd-crontab-generator", line 157, in parser
    value = mapping(value)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '55-59'

The attached patch fixes the issue.
