Angular 6 "the result of a dependency is an expression"

I've created a library (widgets) and an app to use that library (product).

ng new workspace
ng new product
cd workspace
ng generate library widgets
ng build --prod widgets

So far so good. I can run ng build from the product directory and everything's fine.

I updated product/src/app/app.module.ts to import the widgets library.

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { WidgetsModule } from '../../../workspace/dist/widgets'; // added

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    WidgetsModule // added
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Now when I run ng build from the product directory, I get warnings from Webpack.

What does "the result of a dependency is an expression" mean? What am I doing wrong?
