[BUG] Wrong dependency resolution failure in clean install

[falsandtru]

typescript@">= 2.8" must match [email protected], right? This error doesn't appear on npm6. Additionally, npm7 can't run npm r to remove unresolvable dependencies.

Current Behavior:

$ npm i
npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm ERR!
npm ERR! While resolving: [email protected]
npm ERR! Found: [email protected]
npm ERR! node_modules/typescript
npm ERR!   dev typescript@"4.3.0-dev.20210213" from the root project

npm ERR! Could not resolve dependency:

npm ERR!
npm ERR! Fix the upstream dependency conflict, or retry
npm ERR! this command with --force, or --legacy-peer-deps
npm ERR! to accept an incorrect (and potentially broken) dependency resolution.

Expected Behavior:

no error

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Checkout https://github.com/falsandtru/spica v0.0.434
2. Run npm i

Environment:

• OS: Win10
• Node: 15.8.0
• npm: 7.5.4

.npmrc

package-lock = false

your dependency tsify has a peer dependency on typescript@">= 2.8" however your package is directly depending on [email protected] which is a conflict.

to get around this, you can either run npm i --force to ignore the conflicts and install anyway, update your tsify dependency to one that has a peerDependency on a matching version of typescript, or change your top level typescript dependency to one that is compatibly with tsify

the reason you don't see this problem in npm 6 is because installing peerDependencies by default is new in npm 7

Ah, thanks...
