[Bug?]: cannot import chai from a module using PNP

See original GitHub issue

Self-service

I’d be willing to implement a fix

Describe the bug

Importing chai from a module:

import { expect } from 'chai';

leads to:

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'chai' imported from /home/ntosic/Projects/yarn-issues/test/dummy.spec.js
Did you mean to import chai-npm-4.3.4-808f3b5355-772c522b3b.zip/node_modules/chai/index.js?
