<snip lots of warnings>
 
Is this from /var/log/rkhunter.log, or you copy/pasted output from console?
If you updated your $UNKNOWN_DISTRO , did you rebuild hash database(iirc) that 
rkhunter uses to check against ('rkhunter --propupd')?
(Maybe it's run as a cron job daily, but my crystal ball is a bit murky :) ). 
Check (rather extensive )wiki at http://rkhunter.wiki.sourceforge.net/MPRKH#Contents
