I guess it’s the latter. You can see which files are being checked for this test
in the chkrootkit script:

>    if [ -d ${ROOTDIR}usr/lib/.egcs ] || [ -f ${ROOTDIR}usr/lib/libfl.so ] || \
>       [ -d ${ROOTDIR}usr/lib/.kinetic ] || [ -d ${ROOTDIR}usr/lib/.wormie ] || \
>       [ -f ${ROOTDIR}usr/lib/liblog.o ] || [ -f ${ROOTDIR}usr/include/addr.h ] || \
>       [ -f ${ROOTDIR}usr/include/cron.h ] || [ -f ${ROOTDIR}usr/include/file.h ] || \
>       [ -f ${ROOTDIR}usr/include/proc.h ] || [ -f ${ROOTDIR}usr/include/syslogs.h ] || \
>       [ -f ${ROOTDIR}usr/include/chk.h ]; then
>          echo "Warning: Possible Showtee Rootkit installed"

The /usr/lib/libfl.so comes from the flex package on my system, so if it exists
it doesn’t necessarily mean that there’s something wrong. (None of the other
files exist here.)
