/lib/systemd/system/chkrootkit.timer contains -
# then run every day
OnUnitActiveSec=24h
This is a monotonic timer. According to systemd.timer manpage -
These are monotonic timers, independent of wall-clock time and
timezones. If the computer is temporarily suspended, the monotonic
clock generally pauses, too.
On my system, which is usually suspended overnight, the chkrootkit.service has
not run since last upgrading over 2 days ago.

The trigger is further in the future. I guess the timer will expire eventually,
but to preserve the old crontab behaviour and run every day, perhaps a realtime
(i.e. wallclock) timer should be used e.g
OnCalendar=daily
