Bug#825880: crontab: month and day can't be 0 in /tmp/crontab_...: 0 0 1 */2 * ...

[Paul Wise]

Package: systemd-cron
Version: 1.5.4-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/crontab

When I try to edit my crontab I get the following error. It seems to be
confusing the 0 for minute/hour in the crontab with month/day.

pabs at chianamo ~ $ crontab -e
crontab: month and day can't be 0 in /tmp/crontab_...: 0 0 1 */2 * ...
not replacing crontab, your edit is kept here:/tmp/crontab_...
