Bug Description
Binary package hint: chkrootkit
When -e is used without argument the error message doesn't tell much about the error:
$ chkrootkit -e
shift: 2659: can't shift that many
It should display the help of chkrootkit.
Additionally, the documentation of the -e option could be improved by explicitly showing that arguments are required:
-e files/dirs
Exclude known false positive files/dirs, quoted, space separated.
instead of
-e Exclude known false positive files/dirs, quoted, space separated.
