[BUG] npm --workspace [w] version [v] doesn't update root level package-lock

Current Behavior

I have a project using NPM 7 workspaces. One package is named button.

If I run npm -w button version minor, then the version number in button's package.json gets incremented as I would expect. However, the root-level package-lock.json does not get modified.

If I later run an npm -w button install then the value in packages.button.version gets updated to reflect the current version.

Expected Behavior

I would expect the value at packages.button.version in the root-level package-lock.json file to get updated at the same time as button's package.json, when the npm version command is run.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Set up a project with one package, run npm --workspaces install to generate basic package-lock.json
2. Run npm -w [package name] version minor
3. See that the package's package.json has been updated but the root level package-lock.json has not
4. Run npm -w [package name] install
5. See that the root level package-lock.json has one change in it: the sub-package's version number.

Environment

• OS: macOS 11.5.2
• Node: 16.7.0
• npm: 7.20.3
