What is the current behavior?
The packages geckodriver and chromedriver in their current respective versions (1.16.2, 76.0.0) cannot be yarn added at the same time. If they are in the same package.json and being installed at the same time, yarn install fails.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
yarn init
yarn add geckodriver chromedriver

Output:

yarn add v1.17.3
warning ../../../package.json: No license field

error /home/aleks/var/tmp/geckodriver-test/node_modules/geckodriver: Command failed.
Exit code: 1
Command: node index.js
Arguments: 
Directory: /home/aleks/var/tmp/geckodriver-test/node_modules/geckodriver

Note, this was attempted by several co-workers, and not everybody could reproduce it on their machine. We have the same OS (Ubuntu 19.4) but different machines. My CPU (on which it fails) is:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-8950HK CPU @ 2.90GHz

A coworker who could reproduce the problem had the same machine & CPU. It may be a hardware problem.

Also, non-parallel installation, by yarn adding the packages individually was no problem, and can be used as a workaround (but yarn install if both are in the same package.json is still broken.)

npm install --save geckodriver chromedriver with both packages at the same time works.

The offending package.json:

{
  "name": "geckodriver-test",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "index.js",
  "license": "MIT",
  "dependencies": {
    "chromedriver": "^76.0.0",
    "geckodriver": "^1.16.2"
  }
}

If I should provide more info/assistance, please let me know.

What is the expected behavior?
Installation should not be a problem.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

$ lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 19.04
Release:        19.04
Codename:       disco
$ yarn --version
1.17.3
$ node --version
v10.16.1

Some additional information: The command does work in docker, using the official node image, on my machine & Ubuntu installation.

I've also attached the output of yarn's --verbose option for the above command.
yarn.log

I've also tried it with Ubuntu's own yarnpkg version of 1.13.0. It worked fine with that yarn version, so downgrading is also a possibility. I've no idea when the regression was introduced.
