`bcrypt` fails on installation with `node_modules`

Installation with existing node_modules directory fails with Cannot find module '../lib/main'

Hello šŸ™‚

I'm encountering an issue with the bcrypt package. I have a turborepo/monorepo with an api package and other apps. The package depends on bcrypt. Every time I want to add a new dependency to any app/package I have to remove the root node_modules folder and only then can I install it - reinstallation / adding a new package causes the error below:

> pnpm install <anything>

...

Indeed, the lib/main file does not exist.
