I can see your point. If you can follow the security update procedure and produce a tested debdiff (or find someone to do this for you), this can get fixed and uploaded. I've added a Hardy task for it. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityUpdateProcedures ** Changed in: chkrootkit (Ubuntu Hardy)

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I have marked it as public, since it is not a private issue. Additionally, this has already been fixed in the development release (which has chkrootkit 0.48-5). Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
