Charmcraft pack fails with InvalidVersion on dev multipass builds (e.g. 1.15.0-dev.2929.pr661). Root cause traced to craft-providers version parsing; upstream fix landed in craft-providers. Issue is triaged and effectively resolved upstream.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: Maintainer lengau triaged this, confirmed the error originates in craft-providers (not charmcraft), and filed upstream bug canonical/craft-providers#661. The fix 'fix(multipass): parse dev multipass versions' (d7cfb80) is present in craft-providers, and charmcraft depends on craft-providers>=3.7.1. The issue is a real bug that was properly triaged and addressed upstream, so it should remain open until the reporter confirms the fix or a maintainer closes it.
