I was getting this same frustrating and hard to debug error. The problem in my case seemed to be yarn workspace behaviour caused by different versions of the same dependency in different packages (specifically ava versions 2 and 3). Only once I'd upgraded all occurrences of ava to their latest did I stop getting this error.

This is also an issue for me.. I cannot find any solution for this problem.. I have been searching the net for all possible workarounds, and none worked for me.. this drives me crazy :(

This really feels like a bug because subsequent yarn install runs will work.

Just to add @tombh's comment if you can't upgrade all occurrences of the package pinning the version via "resolutions" also seems to work or at least it did for me.
