  Hello, I've been unable to reproduce this issue. Could you try reinstalling RKHunter using the steps on that document, but with the following "wget" command instead? EX:
  wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/rkhunter/rkhunter/1.4.2/rkhunter-1.4.2.tar.gz
  Thank you.

  Hello, You can try fixing this with the following command:
  rkhunter "propupd "update
  Keep in mind that RKHunter is a third-party application so you may want to report issues with the application directly to the developer. Thank you.
