The main package depends on different versions of subpackages

Description

The main npm package video.js is depending on different versions of its sub-packages, causing users installing multiple copies of them. The duplicate packages are (for video.js 8.6.1):

@videojs/vhs-utils@3.0.5
@videojs/vhs-utils@4.0.0
m3u8-parser@6.2.0
m3u8-parser@7.1.0

Reduced test case

Steps to reproduce

$ echo '{"dependencies":{"video.js":"*"}}' > package.json
$ pnpm i

Yes, I've been having overrides in my package.json forever because of that. It would be great to fix this issue!
