pnpm incorrectly gets wrong dependency

[vixalien]

Last pnpm version that worked

8.15.7

pnpm version

9.0.3

Code to reproduce the issue

I created a reproducer at https://github.com/vixalien/pnpm-dedupe-release-tags

But, you can also try this with a new package:

cd test
pnpm init
pnpm add @payloadcms/richtext-lexical@beta @payloadcms/ui@beta

Expected behavior

I would expect the packages to be normally installed, like in v8

Packages: +413

+ @payloadcms/ui 3.0.0-beta.11

Done in 33.1s

Actual behavior

They don't get installed correctly. pnpm incorrectly installs the alpha version of @payloadcms/translations for @payloadcms/richtext-lexical and even overrides won't tell it to install the correct version (beta)

Also, I would expect this issue to be tagged with regression. Strange...

[zkochan]

It might be expected. We will check it later.

As a workaround, just install @payloadcms/translations@3.0.0-beta.11 as a direct dependency.

[yovanoc]

Same issue, even if I put the real good version in the package.json

[zkochan]

The above example works when I install beta.11 as a direct dependency. So, if it doesn't work in your case, please provide steps to reproduce.

[yovanoc]

Regression for sure because I only got this problem since 9.X upgrade. And will narrow to a minimal repro soon

Here it is: #7977

[zkochan]

This one is fixed by #7981 too
