It is a known issue:
barrysteyn/node-scrypt#192

It will not be fixed upstream, because the package is no longer maintained:

If you are using scrypt.hash, it is now available natively in the Node.js crypto module.

If you are using scrypt.kdf / scrypt.verifyKdf, scrypt-kdf is a close-to-direct replacement.

We need to get rid of the dependency in order for burner wallet to work on recent systems.
