Bug Description

Ubuntu 10.10, Nikto 2.1.4 (installed using Oneiric package, 1:2.1.4-1).

$ sudo nikto -update
...
ERROR: Unable to open '/var/lib/nikto/docs/CHANGES.txt' for write: 1 at /var/lib/nikto/plugins/nikto_core.plugin line 1777.

Minor annoyance causing an error message at the end of updating. Sorry for not checking using the pertinent Ubuntu version, might not even be a problem in Oneric, but guessing that the directory would be still missing. Creating the directory ("$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/nikto/docs") lets it finish the updating.
