Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I am the author of Scalpel.  Execution of Scalpel 1.60 (the version
that is currently in the scalpel package on Debian et al) fails
completely on VMs hosted on Apple Silicon because of some
long-standing memory corruption bugs.  It may also work incorrectly on
other platforms.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I have placed updated source distros for Scalpel 1.60 as well as the
newer (and more powerful) Scalpel 2.02 on GitHub via
https://github.com/nolaforensix/scalpel-1.60 and
https://github.com/nolaforensix/scalpel-2.02.  My recommendation is to
rebuild the 1.60 package from the updated source and also consdering
adding 2.02.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Scalpel is broken and I fixed it :)

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

N/A?

Hello, and thanks for reaching out!

I have updated the package to latest commit on
https://github.com/nolaforensix/scalpel-1.60.

I will consider packaging the 2.02 when I have a bit of time, this week
or next week hopefully.
