I think you have not read FAQ item "Rootkit Hunter tells me there 
is something wrong with my system. What do I do?" (and basically 
all of chapter 3) before doing anything...


In case of warnings you should *not* make changes to the file 
system and investigate first. Reinstalling packages will overwrite 
any "evidence" (if any). Reinstalling packages and then running "--
check" will not cause hash warnings if hash values match. Running "-
-propupd" will erase previous attribute values and update them all 
to the current state. Also, if you run RKH without "--append-log" 
(or "copy on error" rkhunter.conf setting), there will be no 
previous log to look at. With the limited information available I 
can only see the old inode numbers were closely grouped together as 
are most of the new ones and none of the files listed showed any 
change in attributes other than inode. This should be consistent 
with having reinstalled the package(s) these files belong to and 
not a rootkit warning (no foreign files or processes listed, no 
string values, etc, etc). If you suspect there is more at play than 
your own SNAFU then you should run checks booting a Live CD. As 
there's no evidence of foul play I suggest you 0) look at where 
your distro logs update information and 1) compare package 
signature or hash and then package contents with those from a known 
good repo.
