    Description

      if there is unscoped package with same name as scoped package, both will be installed.
      As result you will end up with two (potentially conflicting) packages.

      How to reproduce:
      1. create new cordova project:
      cordova create myApp org.apache.cordova.myApp myApp
      2. add plaftofm
      cordova platform add android
      3. install scoped package:
      cordova plugin add @mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation@3.0.0-alpha.4
      Expected Behavior
      Only single package @mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation will be installed

      Actual Behaviour
      Two packages will get installed:
      1. @mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation - https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation
      2. cordova-plugin-background-geolocation - https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation
      They are completely different and incompatible. As result cordova project won't compile.

      Console output:
      Installing "cordova-plugin-background-geolocation" for android
      Installing "cordova-plugin-geolocation" for android
      Installing "cordova-plugin-dialogs" for android
      Adding @mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation to package.json
      Saved plugin info for "@mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation" to config.xml
