Bug#1108377: chkrootkit: daily system event: mail: /tmp/mail.RsXXXX8kWKZT: Read-only file system

Package: chkrootkit
Version: 0.58b-4
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

since I've upgraded systems to trixie, logcheck mails me daily system events like these:

Jun 27 00:01:21 hostname chkrootkit-daily[2588815]: sending alert to root: [chkrootkit] alert for hostname.example.org
Jun 27 00:01:21 hostname chkrootkit-daily[2589917]: mail: /tmp/mail.RsXXXX8kWKZT: Read-only file system

That is while:
- the system can send mails
- /tmp is writable
- chkrootkit reports no issues

Obviously I can rather easily ignore those in logcheck but I would like to know
what's going on first. Do you have any idea?

Thanks for maintaining chkrootkit!

cheers,
	Holger
