Issue Rootkit Hunter reports Suspect files: 1 on fresh installation

Rootkit Hunter reports Suspect files: 1 on a fresh installation

Here is the summary from Rootkit:
[01:02:03] System checks summary
[01:02:03] =====================
[01:02:03]

[01:02:03] Rootkits checked : 477
[01:02:03] Possible rootkits: 0

I suspect it might be related to this entry:
[01:01:06] /opt/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/rkhunter.conf [ Warning ]
[01:01:06] Warning: Package manager verification has failed:
[01:01:06] File: /opt/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/rkhunter.conf
[01:01:07] The file hash value has changed

Ideally, I would like to set it up so a fresh install has no errors. If the problem is a changed hash value on rkhunter.conf is there a way to correct the issue after modifying this file?

Thanks.
 
rkhunter --propupd will update your system file properties.

Hello,
I ran the command:
# /opt/psa/admin/bin/modules/watchdog/rkhunter --propupd
[ Rootkit Hunter version 1.4.4 ]
File updated: searched for 180 files, found 145

However, after rerunning rkhunter, I had the same result.
