Julien,

you are talking about rkhunter's database files having been updated
upstream for version 1.3.6.

However, this bug report is against the version 1.3.2 from debian
stable. So, if I understand it right, unless you or some automated
script imports the database files from a newer version, rkhunter should
not complain/warn about allegedly outdated applications.

rkhunter has worked for years now without those warnings on any debian
stable version I can remember. And so, if you excuse, I think this *is*
a bug, maybe not in rkhunter directly but in it's database files that do
not correctly reflect debian reality.

If a security software wrongly automagically warns about software, it
effectively becomes useless.

So, IMHO, closing the bug is wrong, instead either the database files
should be updated to fit debian reality or, as you write yourself, the
'apps test' should be disabled by default in the debian package.
