Package: hashcat-nvidia Version: 20210201 I work with Debian GNU/Linux testing (Bookworm) at the moment.
Debian GNU/Linux is providing this metapackage to make it easy for users of NVIDIA cards to install hashcat with all it's dependencies and make use of OpenCL In Debian Bullseye the dependencies were either nvidia-opencl-icd (newest nvidia-driver) or nvidia-legacy-390xx-opencl-icd (the legacy version for older cards). The same was done for the recommended nvidia-smi or nvidia-legacy-390xx-smi package. Meanwhile NVIDIA dropped support for the pre-maxwell cards (kepler and so on) from it's latest driver, so it is not included anymore with latest nvidia-opencl-icd and is instead provided by the in Debian GNU/Linux testing already existing package nvidia-tesla-470-opencl-icd, like it was done in the past with the nvidia-legacy-390xx-opencl-icd package. Same goes for the fitting nvidia-tesla-470-smi package. The 470 driver is still supported by NVIDIA. To complicate things further, it seems that neither the old nvidia-legacy-390xx-opencl-icd package nor the nvidia-legacy-390xx-smi package isn't existing in Debian GNU/Linux testing anymore. From my understanding the fix would be to add nvidia-tesla-470-opencl-icd and nvidia-tesla-470-smi in addition to the hashcat-nvidia package to make users of these cards happy again or replace (the not existing at the moment) 390 dependencies with the 470 dependencies. This way the whole range of supported NVIDIA cards will be included in the hashcat-nvidia package and it's full usefullnes would be restored again. I hope, this message is useful for you. With best regards, Martin
