ng update does not update deps in projects

🐞 bug report

Affected Package

This seems to be an issue with @angular/cli.

Is this a regression?

Not sure, first time trying to update a project!

Description

I’ve run through the ng update (from Angular 8.2 to Angular 9.1) process and the workspace deps were updated, but my project package.json was not updated with the new versions.

My workspace deps look like this:

  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/common": "^9.1.12",
    "@angular/compiler": "^9.1.12",
    "@angular/core": "^9.1.12",
    // ... etc.
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "~0.901.10",
    "@angular-devkit/build-ng-packagr": "~0.901.10",
    // ... etc.
  }

while my project deps look like this:

  "peerDependencies": {
    "@angular/common": "^8.2.13",
    "@angular/core": "^8.2.13"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@angular/compiler": "8.2.13",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "8.2.13",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "8.2.13",
    // ... etc.
  }

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

I couldn’t find a way of creating an Angular 8 project as ng new seems to just opt for latest. If this is incorrect, please correct me and I’ll try and create a reproduction of this.
