Bug#709421: chkrootkit should not assume kernel version has 3 components
Package: chkrootkit Version: 0.49-4.1 Followup-For: Bug #709421 Ironically, this message also called attention to a silent bug in the same code's handling of *older* 3.x kernels: because it was only looking at the second component, it treated anything prior to 3.6 as prior to *2.6*. That obviously doesn't hold for 3.8, though. At any rate, given that Debian hasn't supported such ancient kernels in years, I'd suggest taking that test out altogether, and just assuming 2.6+.
