chkrootkit (0.58b-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload
  * Update debian/patches/chklastlog.patch to fix compilation using gcc-15
    (Closes: #1096431)
  * Fix syntax error in debian/patches/chkproc.patch (should allow
    building on non-Linux platforms such as hurd-amd64)
  * Fix salsa pipeline (debian/test/find-debs-that-are-enhanced needed
    updating now that login is no longer essential, and because slogin was
    removed from debian)
  * Standards-Version: 4.7.2 (no changes needed)
  * autopkgtest minor cleanups:
     - refuse to run if $AUTOPKGTEST_TMP is not set (the tests should only
       be run in a chroot)
     - ensure temp files are cleaned up at the end (makes it easier to
       re-run in a chroot while debugging)
     - work if passwd is not installed (it is no longer Essential)
     - attempt to make the logic more robust in case other packages stop
       being essential in future
     - fix various indentation issues (using shfmt)
   * Replace old FSF address with URL in debian/copyright

  * Team upload

  [ Richard Lewis ]
  * Set ProtectSystem in the systemd unit to prevent tests modifying

    (Closes: #1089588)
  * Ensure the ldsopreload test can be run on its own
  * chkwtmp: prevent potential overflow in argument parsing
  * chkdirs: simplify code and improve message about unsupported
     fs: overlayfs is more likely to be the cause than btrfs

     and improve output to show the command and systemd cgroup for
     suspicious pids
  * Refactor all debian patches to simplify upstreaming
  * Ensure everything compiles but does not silently
     do nothing on unsupported (non-linux) systems
  * Improve autopkgtests so they make less assumptions about being able to
     see network managers on the host (Closes: #1093596)

  [ Richard Lewis ]
  * Move configuration to /etc/chkrootkit/chkrootkit.conf and manage
    it as a conffile rather than via debconf
  * This enables various improvements to /etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit:
    - Improved default filtering and make filtering fully customisable
      (Closes: #630880, #666989, #669333, #677315, #877666, #488558).
    - run under ionice if possible (Closes: #745431)
  * Remove messages "OooPS, not expected" messages from
     chkproc by re-increasing MAX_PROCESSES to the upstream
     value (Closes: #982998) and preventing chkproc sending kill signals
     to processes to see if they might be malicious. (patches 55, 55a)
     This does re-disable a test for Enye LKM.
  * Prevent ckrootkit hanging when invoked from an LXC container
     (Closes: #872379), thanks to Scott Barker for identifying the issue
     (patch 61).
  * Various improvement to the output of chkrootkit
     - stop merging output of sniffer test into a single line so '-s'
       can be used as intended (patch 60)
     - fix the test of sshd so it runs when sshd is found
        instead of when it is not (patch 56)
     - ensure rexedcs tests produces any output when it finds
       something suspicious (patch 60)
     - ensure output lines up, especially if '-q' is not present
     - remove spurious spaces (patch 53, 54, 55a,57, 58)
     - do not list directories twice in list of 'suspicious' files (patch 59)
        and show output when -q not given (patch 25a)
     - fix spelling error in chkdirs output (patch 52)
     - further improvements to output of 'chkrootkit -h' (edits to
        patch 26, patch 26a)
  * Remove bashism from d/25_fix-nfs-legacy-sniffers.patch.
    (Closes: #994153).
  * Documentation copy-edited for grammar (and occaisional accuracy)
  * Update dependencies so that packages whose binaries are tested are listed
     in 'Enhances' and add iproute2 as a preferred alternative to net-tools
  * Update documentation of earlier patches (1-51), recording
     which have been sent upstream
  * Add some autopkgtests
