Mongo-tools too old in nodejs 16 image

As part of our tests we need to bootstrap a mongo database, but we are running into issues. Part of this appears to be a mismatch between the running mongo service and the mongo-tools available, via apt install -y mongo-tools.

We see mongo service running as 6.0.1 and the available mongo-tools as 3.4.14-4.

Having mongo-tools only at 3.4 is really old. Is this intentional?

We ended up having to add the following lines to the before_script step in our .gitlab-ci.yml file:

  - wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-6.0.asc | sudo apt-key add -
  - echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian buster/mongodb-org/6.0 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-6.0.list
  - apt-get update
  - apt-get install -y mongodb-org-tools

So that the first part now reads as:

image: node:16

cache:
  key: "$CI_BUILD_REF_NAME"
  paths:
    - node_modules/

services:
  - mongo
  - redis:latest

stages:
  - tests
  - deploy

before_script:
  # deal with private key
  - 'which ssh-agent || ( apt-get update -y && apt-get install openssh-client -y )'
  - eval $(ssh-agent -s)
  - echo -n "$SSH_PRIVATE_KEY" | tr -d '\r' | ssh-add - > /dev/null
  - mkdir -p ~/.ssh
  - chmod 700 ~/.ssh
  # deal with host key
  - echo -e "Host *\n\tStrictHostKeyChecking no\n\n" > ~/.ssh/config
  - echo "$SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS" > ~/.ssh/known_hosts
  - chmod 644 ~/.ssh/known_hosts
  - grep NAME /etc/*-release
  - uname -a
  - wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-6.0.asc | apt-key add -
  - echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian buster/mongodb-org/6.0 main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-6.0.list
  - apt-get update
  - apt-get install -y rsync
  - apt-get install -y jq
  - apt-get install -y mongodb-org-tools
