I'm getting RKHunter warnings every day when my cron job runs the check. I'm on FreeBSD 10.2

This is the warning I'm getting:

Warning: No hash value found for file '/usr/bin/perl' in the 'rkhunter.dat' file.

I already tried rkhunter --updateand rkhunter --propupd but the warning remains.

rkhunter --propupd
[ Rootkit Hunter version 1.4.2 ]
File updated: searched for 171 files, found 113, broken links 1

rkhunter --list perl reveals this:

Perl module installation status:

Socket                     Installed
Carp                       Installed

I installed Rootkit Hunter through the ports tree and am now on 1.4.2.

Is there anything I'm missing?

I figured out that Perl 5.20 doesn't use the symlinks in /usr/bin any more.

(Better read those messages!)

They now were pointing to a nonexistent file:

lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel         25  4 Mai  2015 perl -> /usr/local/bin/perl5.18.4
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel         25  4 Mai  2015 perl5 -> /usr/local/bin/perl5.18.4

I deleted those and now RKHunter is quiet.

rm /usr/bin/perl
rm /usr/bin/perl5
