Getting pissed off with getting an error message every time I install
any other software, so decided to dig into this.

The bug is in line 38 of the postinst script.
-------------------------------------------------
rkhtmpdir=$(grep '^TMPDIR' /etc/rkhunter.conf | sed 's/TMPDIR=//')
-------------------------------------------------

In /etc/rkhunter.conf, the TMPDIR assignment is commented out, as is
normal for all variable assignments within that file where the default
is supposed to be taken.

Un-commenting the line in the config file allows the postinst script to
run successfully.

I would suggest that the postinst script should be changed so that if
$rkhtmpdir is null after line 38, it's assigned to the default value
(/var/lib/rkhunter/tmp).
