But odds are pretty good that you could grab the scalpel src rpm from
epel and fix it to rebuild against the newer libtre in a matter of
minutes. - just changing the spec, not the source...  Stuff like that
does happen, but it's rare (what, one conflict out of thousands of
packages?) and it is usually a lot less trouble to work around than to
avoid the repositories and routinely build source from tarballs
yourself.
