Bug#1061164: cron: with a black background, /etc/supercat/spcrc-crontab makes default text invisible

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-183
Severity: normal

Using spc with the provided /etc/supercat/spcrc-crontab config file
makes default text invisible with a black background.

Example:

echo '6 5 * * * foo > /dev/null' | spc -t crontab

gives "6 5 * * * foo". The remaining is invisible. Note that using the
-r spc option (to reverse black and white) doesn't change anything.

I suppose that this is due to

Black blk (.*)

IMHO, the color of the default text shouldn't be changed (changing it
seems rather unusual).
