Bugs

If you change insight-previous package.json, and run npm i in root directory, lerna will rebuild dependencies of project. Because of issue in insight-previous configuration you may get cannot find module 'base58' error. Follow solution on this github issue:

Generally npm i after that should be run in root directory, and also in insight-previous dir. Another caveat is, on some systems when you run npm i it may run unbuild rmStuff action in one of the subdirs in node_modules. If these are symlinks, as lerna does, it may end up deleting npm packages in node_modules outside of folder you've run npm i. It happens only on some systems. One possible solution is to run npm i again in root directory, but it hasn't been battle-tested.
