Reproduced running latest weekly builds.

I'm not entirely sure what we should do here. According to chick3nman..

that's... hmm
i think its correct sorta but not fully
while it does highlight a real issue with POCL and Intel's OpenCL driver conflicting, im not sure i understand the alternative
because, as far as i know, there isn't one
Intel's runtime is proprietary (AMD doesnt have their own, you use intel's) and POCL is open source
when POCL works, it works fairly well and i don't expect significant performance loss
but if you were to not ship POCL, i don't know if you could ship Intel's due to the license
I'm pretty sure shipping POCL is the only way to ship a decently working runtime

Maybe we could demote whatever depends on pocl2, to having it be a Recommends, so that users can remove it, in favor of installing their own Intel implementation?

Me too, I've been thinking about this one several times.
Possibly ship none in x86_64 builds, but for NetHunter this will be a positive action again.

Possibly, I'll let other decide this �

This might actually be a moot point; we actually get hashcat from debian, and it's quite likely that is what is pulling it in for you. opencl packages should be providing opencl-icd, which would allow them to replace the pocl2 package without things breaking. Regardless, perhaps if you raise the issue there?

It also seems a bit odd that hashcat would default to the cpu if the gpu is installed; are you sure that the intel packages are installing correctly? I don't have the hardware here so I can't tell.
