[Bug]: `@storybook/angular@6.5.16` is incompatible with angular 15?

Describe the bug

Hello, trying to use the currently latest release v6.5.16 with Angular 15.2.0 and seeing this error:

npm WARN config global `--global`, `--local` are deprecated. Use `--location=global` instead.

am I right in assuming @storybook/angular@6.5.16 is incompatible with angular 15? are there any workarounds?

@ruslanss I can‘t verify, whether it is incompatible, but we definitely don‘t maintain Angular 15 support in Storybook 6.5. Instead, try to upgrade to our latest prerelease 7.0 version, which has full Angular 15 support!

https://storybook.js.org/blog/7-0-beta/

npx storybook@next upgrade --prerelease

thanks, I've tried the upgrade and it's still appear to be looking for some of the Angular 14.x dependencies:

So you can safely uninstall @storybook/builder-webpack5 and @storybook/manager-webpack5. Also, as the info tells you, you have still 6.5 packages installed. Did you forget to run npm install?

@ruslanss Storybook 6.x is not compatible with Angular >= 14. I already found myself trying to use those @storybook/builder-webpack5 and @storybook/manager-webpack5 that @valentinpalkovic mentions with no success at all.

The reason is @storybook/angular@6.5.* indirectly depends on @storybook/builder-webpack4 as mentioned in #20062 and there is nothing you can do regarding that apart from migrating to Storybook 7, which gets rid of a webpack dependency.

It is really disappointing that Storybook team is not interested on making those @storybook/builder-webpack5 and @storybook/manager-webpack5 actually do what they are supposed to do, at least for Angular.

npm install command was failing due to error i reported above. with your suggestion, the upgrade now works and we might be doing a release to production with storybook 7.0.0-beta.61

thanks 🙌
