Package: rkhunter
Version: 1.3.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I understand that this is not strictly speaking a problem with rkhunter or the 
packaging
(hence the wishlist severity).  However, on my laptop, doing the property 
update at the
end of each apt run is very slow.  When apt-get installing small packages, it 
often takes
more time to update the properties than download and install the package.

Is there a way that we could speed this up?  Either by priming the cache in a 
clever way
with readahead, or by being smarter about which files to re-hash.

Maybe it would make sense to create a "quick" property update where rkhunter 
would look
at each file and if the timestamp hasn't changed just assume that the hash is 
still the
same.

Francois
