manypkg check fails in a monorepo, version mismatch even though there is a wildcard

[MattyAyOh]

i inherited a monorepo, that is deployed and functioning, but the CI has been failing.
here is an excerpt package.json of a frontend app:

{
  "name": "@myorg/clientApp",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "@myorg/auth": "workspace:*",

So you can see it has a dependency on a private package in the monorepo, auth

Here is the package.json of the auth workspace

{
  "name": "@myorg/auth",
  "version": "0.1.0",

It seems to be setup correctly, and things build locally, and also in production, everything looks great. But CI has been failing forever. so I looked into it and found a manypkg check step that was failing, with errors like this:

error @myorg/clientApp has a dependency on @myorg/auth@workspace:* but the version of @myorg/auth in the repo is 0.1.0 which is not within range of the depended on version, please update the dependency version

I don't understand why this is an error, because the clientApp is declaring a dependency in the workspace, of * any version right?
So why is 0.1.0 not within the range?

I'm about to try to just ignore this error instead, there is probably 50 of these same errors because there are a handful of internal private packages in the monorepo that are referenced by several apps.

Any ideas here would be greatly appreciated

Support for workspace:* was added in @manypkg/[email protected], so make sure your CI runs a more recent version of manypkg.
