Charmcraft cannot parse a dev version build for multipass
Metadata
Current evaluation
Charmcraft pack fails on dev multipass versions like 1.15.0-dev.2929.pr661 due to invalid version parsing in craft-providers; fixed upstream and current charmcraft dependency includes the fix.
Suggested action: close resolved
Reason: Maintainer diagnosed the error as coming from craft-providers and filed canonical/craft-providers#661, which was fixed by canonical/craft-providers#662 (commit d7cfb80e). Charmcraft now requires craft-providers>=3.7.1 and uv.lock pins 3.7.1, so the upstream fix is included in current charmcraft dependencies.
