I got this too. From memory, I think I solved it by deleting the existing 
db 'known' db file, running integrit to build a new 'current' file, and 
copying that to the 'known' db file path. I guess the db file format 
changed between versions?

I think it's also the case that the default configuration in the sarge 
package no longer rotates yesterday's "current" to today's "known". In 
other words, once any differences are detected, they will be reported 
repeatedly every day until you overwrite 'known' with 'current' by hand 
(or modify the integrit cron script to do so automatically whenever a 
change has been reported, like it used to).

HTH,
