is caused by Debian and Ubuntu removing the possibility to do rkhunter --update with what I consider a not so nice hack. Debian bug report discusses rationale. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=869760 There may be Ubuntu bug report also. I say it would make more sence to remove the --update option if it is not meant to be used, or at least make a better error message to replace that current very cryptic one.
As pointed out, there should be no need to use the --update option in Debian/Ubuntu. Although, you could make it work by changing these settings in rkhunter.conf Code: UPDATE_MIRRORS=0 to UPDATE_MIRRORS=1 MIRRORS_MODE=1 to MIRRORS_MODE=0 WEB_CMD="/bin/false" to WEB_CMD=""
