It is not duplicate. -ng is a seperate package with different tools

squashfs-tools and squashfs-tools-ng projects provide separate programs. Here is the list of programs from Alpine Linux.

• squashfs-tools-ng

/ # apk info --contents squashfs-tools-ng
squashfs-tools-ng-1.3.2-r0 contains:
usr/bin/gensquashfs
usr/bin/rdsquashfs
usr/bin/sqfs2tar
usr/bin/sqfsdiff
usr/bin/tar2sqfs

• squashfs-tools

/ # apk info --contents squashfs-tools
squashfs-tools-4.6.1-r1 contains:
usr/bin/mksquashfs
usr/bin/sqfscat
usr/bin/sqfstar
usr/bin/unsquashfs

I can try to add the package if it is allowed here.

This package is helpful even if only unsquashfs is working
