Updating to Angular 7 - error with @angular/animation

Question

When I run ng update @angular/core, I get the following error:

Package "@angular/animation" has an incompatible peer dependency to 
"@angular/core" (requires "4.0.0-beta.8" (extended), would install "7.0.0").

I was able to run ng update @angular/cli with no problem

I already ran npm update

Here are my ng versions:

Angular CLI: 7.0.2
Node: 8.12.0
OS: win32 x64
Angular: 6.1.10
... common, compiler, compiler-cli, core, forms, http
... language-service, platform-browser, platform-browser-dynamic
... router

The following would do the trick:

To Forcefully update add a --force flag.

ng update @angular/core --force
