[Bug 1535578] [NEW] Please backport chkrootkit 0.50-3.2 (universe) from xenial

[proidiot]

Public bug reported:

Please backport chkrootkit 0.50-3.2 (universe) from xenial to trusty.

Reason for the backport:
========================
The version of chkrootkit that is currently available within Trusty (chkrootkit-0.49) reports false positives within the base install of Ubuntu because of some overly simple tests within the upstream code. However, this behavior is corrected upstream in chkrootkit-0.50 (which is currently available in all later major versions of Ubuntu). As the incorrect behavior is explicitly corrected in chkrootkit-0.50, it does not seem appropriate to correct this behavior by making an Ubuntu-specific change to chkrootkit-0.49. However, as this package is both security related and as this update would have a practical effect more like updating a definition file rather than like adding new major features, it seems appropriate to make this backport available to 14.04 LTS even though 16.04 LTS will be available within months.

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s xenial -d trusty chkrootkit

* trusty:
[X] Package builds without modification
[ ] chkrootkit-dbgsym installs cleanly and runs
[X] chkrootkit installs cleanly and runs

Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of chkrootkit. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new chkrootkit. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new chkrootkit installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.
