Debian dependency conflict with scylla.node-exporter

ScyllaDB

Installation details
#ScyllaDB version: 6.2.3
#Cluster size:16
os (debian bookworm):

We want to install some prometheus plugins. These do depend on prometheus node exporter.
The scylla node exporter has a “conflicts” on prometheus node exporter which prevents installing those plugins on debian.
I think the debian package for scylla node exporter should contain a “provides prometheus node exporter” declaration, which would allow to install more prometheus plugins.

Is this a valid solution or has somebody a better advice?

Thanks for helping,
Michael

scylla-node-exporter is not a dependency for scylla-server
just replace it with whatever version you want

Thanks for the reply.
I was confused because of the message:

“The following packages will be removed:
scylla scylla-node-exporter”

But yes, it’s only the meta package “scylla” which gets removed and not the database.

Cheers
