after the update of NodeRed to V2.x.x I get the type_already_registeres message with the RBE-node.
I have read in other topics that the rbe-node has been replaced with the filter-node.
All my nodes are still shown as "rbe". A double-click on it states them then as "filter".
I have tried "npm remove node-red-node-rbe" or "npm uninstall node-red-node-rbe" in the command window of Portainer and after that restarted the container.
bash-5.0$ npm remove node-red-node-rbe
audited 317 packages in 55.121s
29 packages are looking for funding
run `npm fund` for details

Unfortunately there is no difference, the rbe-node is still shown in the palette manager and also on the flows.
How do I remove the rbe-node and this warning?
When you ran the npm remove command, were you in the folder where the package.json and node_modules folders are located? When you run it you should see a message telling you that it removed one or more packages.
Your node_modules folder is owned by root. I guess you installed using sudo at some point. Change the ownership of that folder and all contained files/folders. Then run npm install node-red-node-rbe npm remove node-red-node-rbe
Then restart node-red. If still no joy then what do these commands show npm list node-red-node-rbe sudo npm list -g node-red-node-rbe
Isn't that where you should be running npm remove? Try removing it there.
If it isn't that then I think you need someone who knows more about docker to help.
It's just a warning - as they are in fact the same node (we renamed rbe to filter for 2.x) -the fact that they are overlapping won't cause an issue and can be ignored.
I have now executed the npm remove in the desired data-folder:
bash-5.0$ ls -la

After restarting NodeRED I have checked the webinterface again and now all nodes are changed to "filter" instead of "rbe". Thank you very much for your help.
The 2 vulnerabilites are from a S7-controller node, which I fixed with npm audit fix.
