#175 "which" in ubuntu 22.04 warning cannot be cleared with --propupd

[Paul Menchini]

Just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04.1 over the weekend. Running rkhunter 1.4.6. I'm getting a warning that /usr/bin/which.debianutils was replaced by a script. I have not been successful in using --propupd to clear this warning, although there was at least one other "command replaced by a script" warning that was cleared by a --propupd.

The full warning in the log file is "Warning: The command '/usr/bin/which.debianutils' has been replaced
by a script: /usr/bin/which.debianutils: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable"

Same here...

Does /etc/rkhunter.conf contain this line? Mine does.

SCRIPTWHITELIST=/usr/bin/which.debianutils

I see that Ubuntu 20.04 does not have it, but 22.04 does. Maybe your conf file wasn't merged with upstream changes? I see this changelog entry:

rkhunter (1.4.6-10) unstable; urgency=medium


  * Add /usr/bin/which.debianutils to SCRIPTWHITELIST.
  * Bump Standards-Version up to 4.6.0.

I added it, which suppressed the error. But, not sure if that is the proper
action.
