Sorry @mvaldetaro, I misinterpreted the repro setup. Moving it back to an issue.

It seems that it assumes events is used by default. Installing the events package fixes the repro:

It is reproduced directly with pouchdb: https://stackblitz.com/~/edit/vitejs-vite-vpigyp?file=index.html&terminal=dev
