Debian And Its Packages
Hi:
I installed Debian 6.0.5 about 3 weeks ago and the system runs fine but there are a few things that seems odd to me. When viewing my G-mail it is only in the text form and I am unable to see my G-mail background wallpaper(Ninja's). Could Icewesel be missing a plug in? When I installed Debian I only used the first ISO file and burned the 4 GB to the cd/dvd- I do not know how big (GB's) Debian should be. I'm asking how big Debian should be because after installing: Code:
rkhunter Is Debian missing packages? If so; is there a way for me to tell if packages are missing and what are they specifically? Thanks in advance:study: |
Hi,
please post the output of rkhunter (and the exact command you used to run it). Evo2. |
You have to enable non free repos by adding nonfree contrib in/etc/apt/sources.list
You have to install flashplugin. Quote:

When I first installed "rkhunter"I used Synaptic Package Mgr. I closed Synaptic and
I executed the following: Code:
dpkg -reconfigure rkhunter Code:
rkhunter --propupd Code:

Hi,
ok, so the message from rkhunter is about *files* not *packages*. I interpret that as rkhunter knows about 162 files that it will check, but your system only has 130 of them installed. This is not a problem. Debian offers around 30000 packages, most of which you will never want or need. Within these extra packages will be the additional 32 files that rkhunter knows about and would check. Evo2. |

You provided me with clear confirmation so now this is no cause for me to be alarmed. Correct me if I am wrong but after the install of this application the terminal said: Code:
rkhunter databases will be updated automatically by a weekly cron job |

yep files, most likely from packages that are not installed. Nothing to be concerned about.
Code:
# rkhunter --propupd You can check the logs if you are one to worry. as root open /var/log/rkhunter.log in any text edit or you can do cat /var/log/rkhunter.log to look at it in a terminal eight years of running Debian and none of the anti-malware tools like rkhunter have ever found anything. |
