Although it say 'No update', it does not say, 'Update failed'

Maybe rkhunter has moved on and deal with 'il8n' differently, which is fine,
but then those that still have squeeze servers out there, we are not able to
get  i18n versions and updates. And as a result may need to be patched / fixed.

Kind Regards
