Comment 6 for bug 493607

furicle,

It looks to me that every security release would require an update to the white list unless I'm mistaken. I just don't see this happening. Flat out skipping the apps check will likely be more practical for rkhunter's maintainer. It's been about a week since this was reported, and the package still hasn't gotten the love it needs. I don't see Ubuntu maintaining an up to date white list as something that, for better or worse, is likely to happen. My thinking is, if the white list regularly goes out of sync people will just get irritated by the false positives and either disable apps checking themselves, uninstall rkhunter, or just ignore all positives.
