[BUG] list omit dev not respected for linked dependencies'

[WORMSS]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• [X] I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

npm list --all --omit dev

It displays only the production and peer dependencies (as you would expect), except if you have a dependency that is linked

The linked dependency will list not just the production ones, but ALSO it's dev ones too.

[email protected] E:\code\main
├── [email protected]
└─┬ [email protected] -> .\..\dep2
  ├── [email protected]
  └── [email protected]

Expected Behavior

[email protected] E:\code\main
├── [email protected]
└─┬ [email protected] -> .\..\dep2
  └── [email protected]

Note the exclusion of dep4, as it's a devDependencies and should be omitted.

Steps To Reproduce

main

{
  "name": "main",
  "dependencies": {
    "dep1": "^1.0.0",
    "dep2": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

dep1

{
  "name": "dep1",
}

dep2

Package with 1 dependency dep3 and 1 dev-dependency dep4

{
  "name": "dep2",
  "dependencies": {
    "dep3": "^1.0.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "dep4": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

dep3

Simple package

{
  "name": "dep3",
}

dep4

Simple package

{
  "name": "dep4",
}

Run

npm list --all --omit dev
