While looking at the dependency graph of express I saw two http-error package

https://npm.anvaka.com/#/view/2d/express

http-errors@1.6.2
http-errors@1.6.3

Any reason for not using tilde(~) or caret(^) in package.json?

latest version is 1.7.0

maybe you would like to consider using greenkeeper to keep your dependencies up to date?

So users know exactly how the error objects will look for a given version of this module.

I am using it and I can see this right on the dashboard for this module.

okey - so will you update the dependencies? it's making duplicated code

I can but what is the solution to prevent the duplicates you pointed out above? The current version of this module is using 1.6.3. You said you see both 1.6.2 and 1.6.3 used. If this module updates to 1.7.0, it seems like that would either (a) still have two different versions or (b) now have three different versions.

Don't know, maybe everybody else have to update to 1.7.0 also?

I understand your reasoning for using exact numbers but this is what tilde(~) and caret(^) was meant for (to prevent duplicated code and also getting minor/patch fixes automatically)
