How to update a transitive dependency with deno install?

[nicolo-ribaudo]

At https://github.com/nicolo-ribaudo/local-highlight-registry/tree/efd1ff4fdc2091a7fc5bc6901743c2461037573b, I had to add "rollup": "npm:[email protected]" to my deno.jsonc because I am using Vite, and [email protected] had a bug that made it impossible to install it with Deno.

That Rollup bug has been fixed, and now I would like to update Rollup to the fixed version. I don't want to simply delete the lockfile, because I don't want to update other unrelated dependencies.

How do I do it?

I tried:

• deleting "rollup": "npm:[email protected]" from deno.jsonc and running deno install. This has no effect.
• running deno install npm:rollup. This replaced npm:[email protected] with npm:rollup@^4.24.3 in my deno.jsonc file. However, they are both present in the lockfile and the Vite entry in the lockfile has been updated to explicilty use the old version instead of the new one
• running deno install npm:rollup and deno uninstall npm:rollup. Same result as above, except that (as expected) I don't have Rollup anymore in my deno.jsonc file
• manually removing the rollup entry from deno.jsonc and from deno.lock's npm object and running deno install. It fails with:

  error: Failed reading lockfile at '/Users/nic/Documents/dev/github.com/nicolo-ribaudo/local-highlight-registry/deno.lock'
  
  Caused by:
    0: Failed deserializing. Lockfile may be corrupt
    1: npm package 'rollup' was not found and could not have its version resolved

I think there might be no way besides removing the lock file are the moment. We got a PR cooking that would allow to do that (#26219) that we want to ship in Deno v2.1.
