Dear Debian maintainer,

On Thursday, February 07, 2008, I sent you a notification about the beginning 
of a review
action on debconf templates for chkrootkit.

Then, I sent you a bug report with rewritten templates and announcing
the beginning of the second phase of this action: call for translation
updates.

Translators have been working hard and here is now the result of their efforts.

Please consider using it EVEN if you committed files to your
development tree as long as they were reported.

The attached tarball contains:

- debian/changelog with the list of changes
- debian/control with rewrites of packages' descriptions
- debian/<templates> with all the rewritten templates file(s)
- debian/po/*.po with all PO files (existing ones and new ones)

As said, please use *at least* the PO files as provided here,
preferrably over those sent by translators in their bug reports. All
of them have been checked and reformatted. In some cases, formatting
errors have been corrected.

The patch.rfr file contains a patch for the templates and control
file(s) alone.

Please note that this patch applies to the templates and control
file(s) of your package as of Thursday, February 07, 2008. If your package was 
updated
in the meantime, I may have updated my reference copy....but I also
may have missed that. This is indeed why I suggested you do not
modified such files while the review process was running,
remember..:-)

It is now safe to upload a new package version with these changes.

Please notify me of your intents with regards to this. 

There is of course no hurry to update your package but feel free to
contact me in case you would need sponsoring or any other action to
fix this.

+Description: rootkit detector
+ The chkrootkit security scanner searches the local system for signs
+ that it is infected with a 'rootkit'. Rootkits are set of programs
+ and hacks designed to take control of a target machine by using known
+ security flaws.
+ .
+ Types that chkrootkit can identify are listed on the project's home page.
+ .
+ Please note that where chkrootkit detects no intrusions, this does
+ not guarantee that the system is uncompromised. In addition to
+ running chkrootkit, more specific tests should always be performed.
