MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for cpyrit-cuda [2]:

Orphaned package. Pyrit was last released in 2015 and is still using
Python 2.

In 2019, the developer added a comment to the GitHub repo's README,
saying they are working on a rewrite for Python 3, 'stay tuned'.

But zero of that effort can be seen; there hasn't been any commits
to that effect. (In fact, that added README note was the last commit,
in 2019.)

Meanwhile, this package is now broken because of deleted and broken
Python 2 modules.

I am not knowledgeable in the field of cracking hashes and
passphrases,
but I have a feeling that there are other, up-to-date tools that can
leverage today's improved CPU, GPU and specialized hardware landscape
for such infosec purposes.

Safe to delete this defunct package, nothing depends on it.
