I should have added that this is in the README file:

================================================
  If the installer encounters an existing rkhunter.conf, it will not be
  overwritten. Instead the installer creates a new configuration file,
  but with a unique number as its suffix. Please inspect the new
  configuration file and copy over any changes to the existing
  configuration file.
================================================


I saw that you had some warning messages too. The README has a little
bit about this too:

================================================
  NOTE: The first run of 'rkhunter' after installation may give some
        warning messages. Please see the FAQ file for more details
        about this.
================================================
