Additional Information/Debugging Steps:

After look man page, AIDE version >= 0.19 , config option database is removed : Man

If we try do init manualy with

/usr/sbin/aideinit -y -f

We get the same an error (with error on log because log didnt have _aide user on it

~# /usr/sbin/aideinit -y -f
Running aide --init...
/bin/bash: ligne 1: /var/log/aide/aideinit.log: Permission non accordée
AIDE --init return code 1

If we modify log right and look it when try to build :

~# chown -R _aide:adm /var/log/aide
~# cat /var/log/aide/aideinit.errors
  ERROR: /etc/aide/aide.conf:113: unexpected character: ':' (line: 'database=file:/var/lib/aide/aide.db')
AIDE --init return code 17

And now if we delete database=file:/var/lib/aide/aide.db on last line /etc/aide/aide.conf and rebuild, all is OK.
