Description Anthony Messina 2025-04-16 23:18:13 UTC
After upgrading to Fedora 42, I get the following:
~]# rkhunter --propupd
[ Rootkit Hunter version 1.4.6 ]
grep: warning: stray \ before /

So far, it doesn't seem to affect the function of rkhunter.

Reproducible: Always

I just did some more testing with "run-parts /etc/cron.daily" from a shell this morning I see warnings. 
Testing manually, scan, propupd etc are fine.

Comment 7 Nerijus Baliūnas 2025-04-20 12:45:03 UTC
With rkhunter-1.4.6-28.fc42.noarch I no longer get emails with warnings, but if I run /etc/cron.daily/rkhunter manually, I still get in the console:

grep: warning: stray \ before /
grep: warning: stray \ before /
...

Will look around for it... sorry for missing it.
