[Bug 84811] Rkhunter : Please backport Rootkit Hunter from Feisty to Edgy

[lotusleaf]

Public bug reported:

Please backport rkhunter from feisty version 1.2.9 to Edgy.

It's important to have the latest version of this utility in Edgy for
security.

Also, version 1.2.8 in Edgy gives an error now when one tries to update
it from the command line via:

sudo rkhunter --update

"Mirrorfile /var/lib/rkhunter/db/mirrors.dat rotated
Using mirror http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net
[DB] Mirror file                      : ERROR
Fatal error: Problem while fetching file"

I read on LinuxQuestions.org about a new developer for Rkhunter
replacing the old, but I haven't confirmed this, does the --update
command in 1.2.9 in Feisty work? Regardless, please backport this small
but useful security application, thanks.
