[Slackbuilds-users] Rkhunter 1.3.8 breaks due to the update to file 5.09

[Black Rider]

Hello.

The last update of the file app in Slackware 13.37 triggers a very
nasty false positive in rkhunter 1.3.8.

The bug is the same that is shown here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=641217

The Debian team claims to have fixed the bug by applying a patch from
upstream.

I post this because I spent half an hour comparing my running system
with an old backup and trying to detect the "rootkit" that was
triggering the alarm. Others will live better if I warn them first.
May I suggest the maintainer of the SlackBuild to consider fixing this
the same way?
