Pi-hole on Alpine 319, Missing Package or not?

All works fine but pihole is missing one package:

pihole:~# pihole -up
[✓] Checking for dialog

[i] Checking for procps (will be installed)
[✓] Checking for dhcpcd

Let's try again :

pihole:~# pihole -up
[✓] Checking for dialog
[✓] Checking for git
[✓] Checking for newt
[i] Checking for procps (will be installed)
[✓] Checking for dhcpcd
[✓] Checking for openrc

[✓] Checking for newt
[✓] Checking for git
[i] Processing apk install(s) for: procps, please wait...

[i] Checking for updates...
[i] Pi-hole Core: up to date
[i] Web Interface: up to date
[i] FTL: up to date

[✓] Everything is up to date!

okay, is procps installed ?

pihole:~# apk list -I | grep procps
libproc2-4.0.4-r0 x86_64 {procps-ng} (GPL-2.0-or-later AND LGPL-2.1-or-later) [installed]
procps-compat-3.3.17-r4 x86_64 {procps-compat} (GPL-2.0-or-later AND LGPL-2.1-or-later) [installed]
procps-ng-4.0.4-r0 x86_64 {procps-ng} (GPL-2.0-or-later AND LGPL-2.1-or-later) [installed]

What should i check next ?

It may be the updater not seeing the procps variant used in Alpine Linux, except during install. Despite the messages, does Pi-hole work? Note it's not a supported OS so I've moved your post to the Community Help section, as others people may be using Alpine and have suggestions.

procps provides utilities like free, ps, top, uptime, vmstat, watch and others. If those commands work ok and your PI is working ok then your probably good and as chrislph mentioned its not verifying the procps-ng that Alpine uses.
