npm install trying to download bundledDependencies

[kanika46shah]

I'm opening this issue because:

• npm is crashing.
• npm is producing an incorrect install.
• npm is doing something I don't understand.
• Other (see below for feature requests):

What's going wrong?

Using Node v8.* with npm 5.* on Mac OS v10.12.3

Running npm install tries to download 'bundledDependencies' from the npm registry.
It fails with Error 404 as these are not hosted on npm registry.
Running with --verbose shows that the 'preinstall' lifecycle script tries to download bundledDependencies.

These dependencies are present in node_modules folder but still npm5 tries to pull them. Its working on npm version <= 5.

How can the CLI team reproduce the problem?

In package.json add the property:
'bundledDependencies': ['test-dependency']

And under node_modules folder, create a 'test-dependency' folder with basic package.json.
Running npm install should show the error.

Here is the gist of the npm-debug.log
