RE: [Rootkit Hunter version 1.3.8]

As of today (April Fools Day), ever execution of "sudo rkhunter --update" results in the following error in my logs: "Warning: Download of 'i18n.ver' failed: Unable to determine the latest version number." See below for actual terminal output:

Checking rkhunter data files...
Checking file mirrors.dat [ No update ]
Checking file programs_bad.dat [ No update ]
Checking file backdoorports.dat [ No update ]
Checking file suspscan.dat [ No update ]
Checking file i18n versions [ Update failed ]
Please check the log file (/var/log/rkhunter/rkhunter.log)

So what is the fix for this? Do I need to install a newer version. Hopefully I do not need to go through all of the setup and configuration again?

I appreciate your efforts. THANKS!

P.S.: I have received "Update Failed" message before, and when I tried later it worked. However, this time it continues to fail.
