Im quite social currently, so thought id chip in (and sound clever)

```auto
python3-rpi-lgpio

```

`RPi.GPIO` (used by the python helper for the Node RED Node) depends on an old library - no longer around in recent RPI OS's, and the shim above is a proxy to the new lib (`lgpio`), and polyfils the missing lib that `RPi.GPIO` wants.

(at least thats what I understand)
