Meteor npm install installs wrong version from package.json

Question

I had my package.json in meteor project with all angular libraries version @2.0.0-rc.4 But then I simply replaced them with 2.0.1 So my package.json looks like this:

{
  "name": "angular2-meteor-base",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "meteor run",
    "test": "meteor test --driver-package practicalmeteor:mocha",
    "test:ci": "meteor test --once --driver-package dispatch:mocha-phantomjs"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "chai": "3.5.0",
    "chai-spies": "0.7.1"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/common": "2.0.1",
    "@angular/compiler": "2.0.1",
    "@angular/core": "2.0.1",
    "@angular/forms": "0.2.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "2.0.1",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "2.0.1",
    "@angular/router": "3.0.0-alpha.8",
    "angular2-meteor": "0.6.2",
    "angular2-meteor-auto-bootstrap": "0.6.0",
    "angular2-meteor-polyfills": "0.1.1",
    "angular2-meteor-tests-polyfills": "0.0.2",
    "es6-shim": "0.35.1",
    "meteor-node-stubs": "0.2.3",
    "reflect-metadata": "0.1.3",
    "rxjs": "5.0.0-beta.6",
    "zone.js": "0.6.12"
  }
}

And on running either meteor npm install or npm install after deleting node_modules The console output is this:

So why is this happening and what shall I do to install the proper version of libraries?

I found out that the dependencies were actually being resolved from npm-shrinkwrap.json which had the dependency versions as in console output.
