How can I forcibly exclude a nested dependency for NPM?

Question

I use node 0.10.xand npm 2.15.0, I want to forcibly exclude a nested dependency that ends with the installation.

So far, I have tried to create npm-shrinkwrap.jsonand manually edit it to preserve the nested dependency, but after starting rm -rf node_modules && npm install... I still see that the nested dependency is built for:

kerberos@0.0.19 install /.../node_modules/loopback-connector-mongodb/node_modules/mongodb/node_modules/kerberos
(node-gyp rebuild) || (exit 0)
