Expected behavior Library should be installed without error

Reproduction of the problem

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? Heavily using ngx-datatable in our project (Angular 8). Now upgrade to the latest update of Angular (Angular 13) but couldn’t proceed due to the above error.
