samhain installation error: how to fix?

I assume you are talking about the rsyslog package? I did not install this myself so I assume it's installed by default as part of the distro:

Code:

$ dpkg -l | grep -i syslog
ii  rsyslog                          7.4.4-1ubuntu2                amd64        reliable system and kernel logging daemon

I'm not really sure how to do either of these things.

Does the distro image come with a GnuPG .sig or hash?

No, that was more a list stating what we know. You can always download the syslog package from a trusted repo and verify contents yourself.
