NR 3.0.2 running on Home assistant docker.

For some reason I no longer am able to update or install any palettes. I get a error regarding @wz2b/node-red-influxdb-line-protocol. As far as I know, I never installed this, but i seem to be missing it:

No matter what I try to do i get this error:

I have tried running the command inside the docker it self, also with --omit=dev, but this does not change anything. Please, can anyone help me in a direction?

Check in Manage Palette to see if that node is installed, and if it is then remove it.
