Describe the problem/error/question

I have created and published a community node:

When I ask users to install it to their n8n self hosted by entering “n8n-nodes-scrapeninja” in Settings → Community nodes, for some reason, ScrapeNinja is duplicated and now users have two identical ScrapeNinja nodes, both has same operations.

I am wondering if this is a bug inside my node or is it something happening in n8n core?
