corrupted dependencies on windows?

[soryy708]

When I:

1. Clone this repository on a Windows machine
2. npm i (successfully)
3. npm i again (as-is or trying to install a new dependency)

It fails with:

PS C:\Users\USER\Documents\Software Engineering\Personal\eslint-plugin-import> npm i
npm ERR! Invalid Version:

Looks like we're getting an exception from semver for some reason.
