Bug#773974: rkhunter: Invalid SCRIPTWHITELIST configuration option: Non-existent pathname: /usr/bin/lwp-request

[areazero]

Package: rkhunter
Version: 1.4.2-0.4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the default rkhunter.conf includes the following line:

  SCRIPTWHITELIST=/usr/bin/lwp-request

I don't have libwww-perl installed on serveral systems, so when
rkhunter is invoked, it fails with the following error message:

  Invalid SCRIPTWHITELIST configuration option: Non-existent pathname: /usr/bin/lwp-request

I think the default rkhunter.conf shouldn't cause rkhunter to fail when
an optional package - that rkhunter doesn't depend on - is not installed
in the system.

I had to comment out the "SCRIPTWHITELIST=/usr/bin/lwp-request" to get
rkhunter running on the affected systems.

Thanks
