The checks not getting done are generally indicative of running
checkrootkit as:  /usr/local/checkrootkit/chkrootkit
instead of: cd /usr/local/checkrootkit/; ./chkrootkit

The system does not look outside of ./ to find it's helper apps.

Run chkrootkit properly, then use rkhunter.  Then you can have fun
determining what changed.  Just bear in mind, that since any
file might have been altered, you can't trust anything, even
the package verification database.
