Current and expected behavior

Currently errors with:

node_modules/@babel/types/lib/index.d.ts:1:23 - error TS2307: Cannot find module '@babel/traverse' or its corresponding type declarations.

1 import { Scope } from '@babel/traverse';
                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Found 1 error in node_modules/@babel/types/lib/index.d.ts:1

Expected: No error.

Environment

• Node: v16.15.0
• npm: 8.11.0
• @babel/types: v7.18.6
• OS: Ubuntu Linux 20.04
• Monorepo: no

Possible solution

No response

Additional context

This was a regression between @babel/types@7.18.4 and @babel/types@7.18.6.

Running the following in the above repro directly removes the error:

npm i @babel/types@7.18.4
npx tsc
