Bug

What is the current behavior?

A package being installed twice with different versions where it should be installed once.
Failing to dedupe.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

In package.json:

  "devDependencies": {
    "stylelint": "7.12.0",
    "stylelint-webpack-plugin": "0.8.0",
  },

stylelint-webpack-plugin has in it's package.json:

  "peerDependencies": {
    "stylelint": "^7.7.0",
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "stylelint": "^7.7.0"
  },

Installing using Yarn v0.27.5

yarn list v0.27.5

Installing using npm v5.0.3

Works as expected.

Running npm ls stylelint:

├── [email protected] 
└─┬ [email protected]
  └── [email protected]  deduped

What is the expected behavior?

1. Should dedupe in this case
2. ^7.7.0 should have installed the latest release 7.12.0 (stylelint on npm)
3. yarn why should show version info and also why the 7.11.0 version was installed

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

Node v6.9.1
npm v5.0.3
Yarn v0.27.5
macOS 10.12.5

For now updated in yarn.lock the 7.11.0 version to 7.12.0 and ran yarn --force and it worked:

$ yarn list stylelint
yarn list v0.27.5
