If you install updates to your system prior to rkhunter getting them.. it
will report them incorrectly, cause it still has the hashes of the older
package in rkhunter.dat
You need to re-create the hashes. This will remove a lot of the false
positives.

Read the part USING PACKAGE MANAGERS in README
