AttributeError: module 'capstone' has no attribute 'CS_ARCH_ARM64'

System information：Linux kali 6.10.9-amd64 ReFirmLabs#1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Kali 6.10.9-1kali1 (2024-09-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux
python information: 3.12.6

When I run binwalk, it appears：
Traceback (most recent call last):

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'capstone' has no attribute 'CS_ARCH_ARM64'. Did you mean: 'CS_ARCH_ARM'?

I try to update binwalk，but it is the newest. Then I followed the instructions to find the corresponding disasm.py and modify it。I modify the "ARM64" to "ARM", just like：
ARCHITECTURES =[
Architecture(type=capstone.CS_ARCH_ARM,
mode=capstone.CS_MoDE_ARM,
endiannesS=capstone.CS_MODE_BIG_ENDIAN,
description="ARM executable code, 32-bit, big endian"),
Architecture(type=capstone.CS_ARCH_ARM,
mode=capstone.CS_MoDE_ARM,
endiannesS=capstone.CS_MODE_LITTLE_ENDIAN,
description="ARM executable code, 32-bit, little endian"),
Architecture(type=capstone.CS_ARCH_ARM,
mode=capstone.CS_MODE_ARM,
endianness=capstone.CS_MODE_BIG_ENDIAN,
description="ARM executable code, 64-bit, big endian"),
Architecture(type=capstone.CS_ARCH_ARM,
mode=capstone.CS_MODE_ARM,
romendiannesS=capstone.CS_MODE_LITTLE_ENDIAN,
Devicesdescription="ARM executable code, 64-bit, little endian"),

binwalk is then ready to run。

I would like to know why this is, and does my modification affect binwalk?

Do I need to uninstall it and reinstall it？

binwalk requires capstone >= 5.0 but the latest version on Kali Linux is capstone-4.0.2. Please report this issue to Kali Linux too.

btw, capstone is not a required dependency of binwalk, it can work properly without it. If you want to use capstone you could install it from pip as a workaround.

I would think about adding a check and print a warning if the correct capstone version is not found to be more user-friendly.
