npm install fails with "unable to resolve dependency tree" error

Running npm install fails with the following log

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree

Couple observations

• karma@1.7.1 is a 6 year old version, latest is 6.4.2. Should probably update to latest.
• gulp-karma is deprecated, see notice at https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-karma saying gulp-karma has been deprecated, use Karma directly instead

Actually the above is incorrect, as it was running on an older version (from 2017). Closing.
