Note that I do not have upload access for chkrootkit at this time, as
such I am subscribing ubuntu-sponsors to this bug. Once the Disco patch
is applied, I will provide additional debdiffs addressing this in Cosmic
and Bionic.
Package builds of these changes are present in
Attached is the debdiff of the packaging changes that will fix this
issue and apply the patch for Disco.
Note that the patch's number was renamed to 26 because we have other
patches since the patch was suggested imported due to Debian syncs; this
is reflected in the corresponding debdiffs.
