Not saying that this isn't a problem, aka dependency hell. And giving some hand-wavy solution like 'well, be more careful about what packages you pull into your project' or 'well, f it, just don't upgrade your version of Vue or Webpack' is also not ideal.
There is another type of hell, where changes to modern browsers or the JS language itself cause the (long abandoned) library code that your entire application is coupled to to break completely. At that point, your only options are to tell your users they have to run the website in 'legacy-mode' in IE, or rebuild an application from scratch, teasing a decade's worth of business logic out of poorly designed code (i.e. business logic in JSP/php tags etc).
