Expired Packages Part II

Following on from the previous post…

I went the nuclear route - deleted the node_modules folder, package-lock.json and installed the packages from packages.json. I still had some errors, but the react app at least ran correctly. Also, the messages are a bit more intelligible, and all of them cascade from this one.

# npm audit report

nth-check  <2.0.1
Severity: high
Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity in nth-check - https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-rp65-9cf3-cjxr
fix available via `npm audit fix --force`
Will install react-scripts@2.1.3, which is a breaking change
node_modules/svgo/node_modules/nth-check

From my, admittedly ignorant, viewpoint, there’s a couple of weird things going on here.
