Apparently, it checks the cron file for these patterns of stars (there are five 
positions, they are numbered 0,1,2,3,4):
1,2,3,4
2,3,4
2,3
3,4

Your cron file has 1,2,3 stars.  This is interpreted as 2,3 stars, and
sbackup attempts to read 1 as a number (line 194).  Because 1 is not a
number, it crashes.

This is as far as I can go with diagnosing the issue.  I don't know the
semantics of a cron file, so I can't fix the issue.  I guess we will now
have to wait for the maintainer to.

This is no longer "needs info", so i'm setting it "confirmed"

** Changed in: sbackup (Ubuntu)
       Status: Needs Info => Confirmed
