Describe the bug

With package-lock v2 (npm@7) there are some cases where you always need to install with --ignore-legacy-peer-deps until packages catch up, or in some held-back version scenarios.

Is it possible to get renovate to always run in that mode to avoid artifact issues via config?

See https://github.com/broksonic21/renovate_npm_repro_without_constraints/pull/2 for an example

Have you created a minimal reproduction repository?

• I have provided a minimal reproduction repository

Additional context

I know the actual resolution is to not hold back versions and/or get the dependencies to update, but in our case, we are getting the same artifact issue daily while we work through this and I'd like to avoid it.

In future please use Discussions for questions.

The answer is that you can configure it using .npmrc which you commit to the repo: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/using-npm/config#legacy-peer-deps
