I found this probrem is already reported at typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint#6207

As to why this didn't happen. on 2.1.0, that version didn't replace all default libs that defined Error. This check pass if there is at least one declaration of Error that points to TypeScript's built-in lib.

I think the root cause is TypeScript's isSourceFileDefaultLibrary behavior, so I will try reporting an issue for that.

Fixed in 2.2.1.

This release added /// <reference no-default-lib="true"/> to all library files and now typescript-eslint works fine.
