Dupe of #8534

[YajJackson]

@clydin I had updated @angular/cli under an hour prior to posting this, but notice a few people saying the issue was resolved.

[brunolm]

I updated @angular/cli to 1.5.2, removed node_modules, installed all again, still installed old handlebars version.

Is there an workaround for now?

[benc-uk]

CLI 1.5.2 doesn't fix it. However here has been a fix - not sure what release it will surface in, 1.5.3 perhaps

[YajJackson]

@brunolm this has been my workaround.

[tigercosmos]

@YajJackson It will only change .lock this time, and will become back in next time when npm install.
Not suggest to do that.

[brunolm]

@angular/cli 1.5.3 fixes it. https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/commits/v1.5.3

• Delete node_modules
• npm i -D @angular/cli@1.5.3
• npm i

Duplicate of #8521, fixed by #8535.

I have tried Brunolm's solution, but when I run Angular (ng serve), it fails to compile, the only logs I see:

ERROR in ./src/client/main.ts
Module build failed: [object Object]
@ multi webpack-dev-server/client?http://0.0.0.0:0 ./src/client/main.ts
ERROR in ./src/client/polyfills.ts
Module build failed: [object Object]
@ multi ./src/client/polyfills.ts

webpack: Failed to compile.

The old version of angular CLI was 1.1.0

Tried with angular CLI 1.5.3 (locally and globally)
And another try with angular CLI 1.6.0 (locally and globally)

I have also tried to follow migration guide, compared versions in package.json as described here, but with no luck, the same error.

I took a list of dependencies from migration guide, if you need some more info, just let me know.
