Package: chkrootkit
Version: 0.48-5
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Two of the chkrootkit messages have unnecessary backslashes.  They are
unnecessary, because parentheses lose their special meaning inside
double quotes.  Also, within double quotes, backslashes only function
as escape characters when followed by one of five characters, and
parentheses are not included.  I suggest the following patch.
