Here is a workaround, only if you don’t care about extracting license files.

In your angular.json file, set extractLicenses to false in the production configuration section:

{
  ...
  "build": {
    "configurations": {
      "production": {
        ...
        "extractLicenses": false
        ...
      }
    }
  }
  ...
}
