TypeError: sink._addParentTeardownLogic is not a function

Hi all,

a few days ago a CLI tool I wrote threw this error on a colleague's machine. I cannot reproduce this on my environment, so I can currently not provide you with a reproducible scenario sadly.

I can provide you with a more detailed stacktrace etc on Thursday if required.

The error itself gets throws within inquirer -> rxjs. I found this old issue in the angular CLI which also had rxjs as the origin of the error angular/angular-cli#12072

The problem may be the dependency to the old inquirer version 5.2.0 as this one still uses rxjs@5.5.12 which maybe already had this bug.

Do you think updating the package.json to require a newer version of inquirer with a newer rxjs dependency is possible? Or adding inquirer as peerDependency maybe?

I will try this workaround on Thursday to check whether it is actually the problem on his machine.
