Package: chkrootkit
Version: 0.45-1
Severity: normal

Daily chkrootkit run uses -q by default, which is cool.
Unfortunately, it then calls chklastlog without -q (which wouldn't
quiet chklastlog either, as that option doesn't seem to be
implemented).  As a result, if the system is a bit loaded when that
cronjob runs, and the parsing of the lastlog file takes more than 5
seconds, then chklastlog prints whan I can only guess (from the
source) is an estimate of the time remaining before completion.  Which
means even on a perfectly clean system without any alarms, the daily
email contains a useless progress report.
