How to install python3-rpi-lgpio?

you would need to give some more information on your system. OK I see you posted already on Github update to 9.12.1 fails because of missing python3-rpi-lgpio · Issue #7496 · MichaIng/DietPi · GitHub

Pls stay on one platform. It doesn’t make sens to post twice.

I’m trying to install Node Red on Rpi zero2 but this appears: Missing python3-rpi-lgpio.
This happens on Dietpi Bullseye.
On Dietpi Bookworm when I install Node Red everything installs fine, but the menu of Node Red is missing mange pallete.
A very strange story considering that I constantly do such installations. Maybe I haven’t been in the last month and the problem has been there since then.
