    I looked at the package file lists for those two packages, and one of
    the things that looked interesting was "hpfsck".

    Here's its man page: <https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/hfsplus/hpfsck.1.en.html>

    Indeed. Based on the name I would have guessed that it's for OS/2's HPFS.

    I would look at theses packages:
    ...
    hfsplus/stable 1.0.4-17 amd64
    ...
    hfsprogs/stable 540.1.linux3-5+b1 amd64
    ...
    hfsutils/stable 3.2.6-15 amd64
    ...
    hfsutils-tcltk/stable 3.2.6-15 amd64

    # apt-get install hfsprogs
    Reading package lists... Done

    Package hfsprogs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source

    E: Package 'hfsprogs' has no installation candidate

    The others you mentioned are installed.

    Thanks, ... P.

    Thanks for the reply.

    # hpfsck -v /dev/sdc2
    *** Checking Volume Header:
    hpfsck: hpfsck: error writing to medium (Bad file descriptor)

    Nothing further. The Mac system where this drive was used is
    similarly baffled and offers no progress.

    Lacking of knowledge of HFS, I wonder whether the file system
    directory is broken.

    If the drive is left in this state, the owner will "recycle"; meaning
    it will go to a smelting furnace. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelting

    The next obvious step for me is attempt reformatting with FAT or ext. Otherwise, wipe, partition and then format.

    Thx, ... P.

    You need non-free. I think buster was the last time it
    was in the main distribution.

    Cheers,
    David.
