Typescript ESM import error

[matrm]

Error message:

node_modules/lmdb/index.d.ts:470:1 - error TS1203: Export assignment cannot be used when targeting ECMAScript modules. Consider using 'export default' or another module format instead.

470 export = lmdb

The error message goes away and it is possible to compile without errors when manually changing the last line of index.d.ts from
export = lmdb
to
export default lmdb

testing code:

import lmdb from 'lmdb';

let myDB = lmdb.open({
	path: 'my-db'
});
await myDB.put('greeting', { someText: 'Hello, World!' });
myDB.get('greeting').someText // 'Hello, World!'
// or
myDB.transaction(() => {
	myDB.put('greeting', { someText: 'Hello, World!' });
	myDB.get('greeting').someText // 'Hello, World!'
});

I'm also seeing this error:

node_modules/lmdb/index.d.ts:470:1 - error TS1203: Export assignment cannot be used when targeting ECMAScript modules. Consider using 'export default' or another module format instead.

tsconfig.json:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "NodeNext",
        "moduleResolution": "NodeNext",
        "target": "es2022",
        "strict": true,
        "sourceMap": true,
        "outDir": "dist"
    },
    "include": ["src/**/*"],
}
