[BUG] npm possibly installs wrong dependencies about cli HOT 2 OPEN

@doberkofler I tried to replicate the issue and ran npm ls @typescript-eslint/utils which appears to be correct and looks like it's not a problem with npm.

└─┬ [email protected]
  ├─┬ @typescript-eslint/[email protected]
  │ ├─┬ @typescript-eslint/[email protected]
  │ │ └── @typescript-eslint/[email protected]
  │ └── @typescript-eslint/[email protected]
  └── @typescript-eslint/[email protected]

from cli.

What you've got is the following:

• [email protected] has a dependency on @typescript-eslint/[email protected]
• [email protected] has a peer dependency on @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin@^7.0.0
• [email protected] has a dependency on @typescript-eslint/utils@^5.10.0
• @typescript-eslint/[email protected] has a dependency on @typescript-eslint/[email protected]
• @typescript-eslint/[email protected] has a dependency on @typescript-eslint/[email protected]
• @typescript-eslint/[email protected] has a dependency on @typescript-eslint/[email protected]

So we can see that @typescript-eslint/[email protected] is depended on twice and `@typescript-eslint/utils@^5.10.0 is depended on once.

So I would expect an install that looks like this:

• node_modules
  • @typescript-eslint/[email protected]
  • @typescript-eslint/[email protected]
  • [email protected]
  • [email protected]
    • @typescript-eslint/[email protected]

I.e. Npm installs the most commonly depended on version at the root to have the smallest install.

But instead you get this install:

• node_modules
  • @typescript-eslint/[email protected]
    • @typescript-eslint/[email protected]
  • @typescript-eslint/[email protected]
    • @typescript-eslint/[email protected]
  • @typescript-eslint/[email protected]
  • [email protected]
  • [email protected]

I.e. Npm has installed a the lest commonly depended on version at the root and has the largest install.

This seems like incorrect behaviour - npm is preferring the install with most duplication by default.

For comparison:

• [email protected] installs the second, deduplicated install
• [email protected] (with nodeLinker: node-modules) installs the second, deduplicated install
• [email protected]
  • with node-linker=hoisted - installs the second, deduplicated install
  • with node-linker=isolated - installs the first, duplicated install

from cli.
