[BUG] confusing ERESOLVE with overridden package

[austinw-fineart]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

npm spits out this nonsensical warning about a dependency that's clearly resolved:

npm warn ERESOLVE overriding peer dependency
npm warn While resolving: eslint-config-xo@0.46.0
npm warn Found: peer eslint@">=8.40.0" from the root project
npm warn
npm warn Could not resolve dependency:
npm warn peer eslint@">=8.40.0" from the root project

The actual cause comes from an overridden dependency not mentioned here.

Expected Behavior

I expect warnings to make sense

Steps To Reproduce

package.json
package-lock.json

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "@stylistic/eslint-plugin": "^3.1.0",
    "eslint": "^9.20.1",
    "eslint-config-xo": "^0.46.0",
    "eslint-config-xo-typescript": "^7.0.0"
  },
  "overrides": {
    "eslint-config-xo-typescript": {
      "@stylistic/eslint-plugin": "$@stylistic/eslint-plugin"
    }
  }
}
