Expected Behavior:
should just install everything
Steps To Reproduce:
Kinda hard to say, it's only happening in my monorepo right now, where I had to add some (non needed) react dependecies to solve some peer dependencies issues with storybook.
Environment:
Os: Ubuntu 20.04
Node: 14.15.0
npm: 7.0.7
