Postinstall script fails with custom build in pnpm workspace

[CurrrBell]

I am seeing the same error raised in this closed issue. It seems like the npm ls webpack call is failing because npm can't parse the pnpm-specific workspace:* syntax in my package.json:
+-- my-workspace-package@1.0.0 invalid: "workspace:*" from the root project -> ...

Is there another way to accomplish the npm ls webpack that doesn't break in this scenario? It's blocking us from migrating to pnpm.

Additional details

ExifReader version: 4.15.0
Web browser and version: -
Node version: v20.16.0

How to reproduce

pnpm install exifreader

Hi!

Not sure it helps but you seem to be using an old version of ExifReader. npm ls webpack was removed in version 4.23.4. Try a newer version and let me know how it goes.

I am also looking into alternatives for the postinstall script, more specifically a manual build step (which I guess might have the same issue though) and possibly also relying on tree shaking instead (which would be much more work though and will probably be a while, hard to find time right now for rethinking the architecture as a whole).
