Examples:

parse-community/parse-server#6478

In this PR, a direct dependency on ws was updated from 7.2.1 to 7.2.2. The dependency parse should also rely on ws@7.2.1, but that dependency was removed from the lockfile.

parse-community/parse-server#6504

In this PR, a direct dependency on commander was updated from 4.1.1 to 5.0.0. The direct dependency was updated correctly, but two other dependencies had commander@^4.0.1 removed from their dependency lists (@babel/cli and lint-staged both depended on it).

In this second case, there wasn't even an exact match on the type field, but it does look like they had been resolving to the same version.

It's not clear what happened in parse-community#6478, but it appears that it dropped
the `ws` dependency of the `parse` package when it was updating the
local version of the dependency. This means that running `npm install`
dirties the working tree, which is surprising!

I've filed an issue for the surprising behavior from greenkeeper:
greenkeeperio/greenkeeper-lockfile#250

A similar problem seems to have occurred in parse-community#6504, that time related to
the `commander` package.
