@angelmzn That package (@types/long) is literally a shim now - it's been moved into the mainline long package. The Pub/Sub library doesn't even use it, looks like, so you'd need to include it in your project.
It's generally not a good practice to depend on another package's dependencies for yourself anyhow; this probably only worked because it was a TypeScript typing in question (and the TS compiler is greedy about looking for .d.ts files). It's an interesting question though, whether that constitutes part of the interface we expose. I'll have to run that by some coworkers to see what they think.
