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

When running npm ls INSERT_DEPENDENCY I am only getting back those installation underneath the dev dependencies.

If I run npm ls --prod INSERT_DEPENDENCY then I can see the missing dependency.

Expected Behavior

I would expect that npm ls INSERT_DEPENDENCY by default would list both dev and production dependencies.

Steps To Reproduce
