Same here, also a falsepos (conclusion after doing the other usual tests for Suckit). The problem exists in Lucid Lynx:

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.
