Package: rkhunter
Version: 1.3.6-4
Severity: normal
Since Feb 25th rkhunter displays warnings that
http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/1.3/i18n/1.3.6/i18n.ver could not be found. I
filed a bug report on http://sourceforge.net/p/rkhunter/bugs/106/ and the
developer replied that rkhunter 1.3.6 is from 2009 and obsolete since long time
and last patches are from 2010.
In fact, when squeeze was released in Feb 2011, rkhunter 1.3.8 was out which
obsoletes all previous versions. Although Debian might have patched rkhunter
1.3.6 afterwards to include fixes from later versions rkhunter updates some
files online. For this reason, sticking to old versions of rkhunter in
oldstable works only for a limited time.
Thus, as long as squeeze is still maintained rkhunter should be upgraded in
order to avoid problems for users.

Since squeeze is no longer supported, I think we can close this bug.
Hopefully we'll be able to better keep up with new upstream releases in the
current Debian versions.
