root@kali-2018:/# Having two different Lynis versions installed may conflict.
Suggestion:
Choose one and the errors should be gone :)

4 years ago Having two different Lynis versions installed may conflict.
Suggestion:
* Prefer the very latest version (in development)? Deinstall the Lynis package and use the one from GitHub and keep it up-to-date. * Prefer to have the latest stable version? Use that from https://packages.cisofy.com/ instead of that of DebianChoose one and the errors should be gone :)
I did uninstall the apt version of lynis from my kali machine and used only the github one..
The thing is that i still get this line : [WARNING]: Deprecated function used (logtext)
and it doesnt show off anymore when i use --use-cwd flag

4 years ago @its0x08 - seeing it works with --use-cwd, it looks like the installation is not fully removed. Maybe in /usr/local/lynis? Otherwise lynis show includedir might give a hint, or use find, or strace to see what paths are tried and used.
As this existing issue is old, please open a new one if you can't get it resolved.

4 years ago @its0x08 The Debian / Ubuntu downstream package contains an additional plugin specifically for Debian / Ubuntu (about e.g. Debian goodies or so on), this one uses the deprecated function.
