Yarn Symlinking Bug

Let's assume the current project cwd is /Users/hammadbalkhi/yarn-symlinking-bug

Then:

1. Create a folder inside the workspace: mkdir -p /Users/hammadbalkhi/yarn-symlinking-bug/my-workspace/backup

2. Create a symlink: ln -s /Users/hammadbalkhi/yarn-symlinking-bug/my-workspace/backup /Users/hammadbalkhi/yarn-symlinking-bug/my-workspace/node_modules

3. Run Yarn install

You will see both yarn-symlinking-bug/my-workspace/backup & yarn-symlinking-bug/my-workspace/node_modules populated with the same contents.

4. Now remove "react": "17" from yarn-symlinking-bug/my-workspace/package.json

5. Run yarn install

You will see error: Error: ENOTDIR: not a directory, rmdir '/Users/hammadbalkhi/yarn-symlinking-bug/my-workspace/node_modules'
