href-content 2.0.3 is breaking from 2.0.2

I am using this package indirectly for a nodejs project, via html-pdf-node package, just yesterday when I reinstalled the dependencies on a development environment I got this error:

/xxxxxx/node_modules/remote-content/node_modules/axios/index.js:1

I compared my production build with the development build and noticed that href-content changing from version 2.0.2 to 2.0.3 breaks my project, I think because some of its dependency upgrades axios version to a breaking version and causes the error. Related dependency tree: html-pdf-node@1.0.8 > inline-css@3.0.0 > extract-css@2.0.1 > href-content@2.0.3

My environment:
npm: 6.5.0
node: 11.9.0

node versions less than v16 are not supported so I can't verify it works on a version that old. I would suggest updating your node version and try again. Let me know how it goes.

Did you find a solution other than upgrading the node version?

I added href-content 2.0.2 as a dependency of my app even though it wasn't being used directly.
