How to update version of a dependency which is required by other dependencies.

├─┬ vue-svgicon@3.2.9
│ └─┬ yargs@12.0.5
│   └── yargs-parser@11.1.1

In my case, yargs-parser needs to be updated to 13.1.1. Making any changes in the package-lock.json just overwrites it when you run npm install.

1. npm audit fix doesnt update it either

2. Tried doing with npm-shrinkwrap.json as an override for package-lock.json but want to find out some other alternative.

3. Another alternative is to do a define

"resolutions"

in the package.json file in addition to

"preinstall": "npm-force-resolutions"

but this adds an additional dependency of npm-force-resolutions which is not desired
