Lerna Version Bump Version of the local packages dependencies before installing

[askides]

Hello Guys,

My environment is like this one:

packages/
├─ foo/
├─ bar/
├─ baz/

The bar package depends on the foo package, and everything works fine.

The problems begin if I manually put into the bar package.json dependencies the foo package, like this:

// bar package.json
{
  "dependencies": {
    "@org/foo": "*"
  }
}

If I run lerna version or lerna publish), the asterisk value is automatically updated with the bumped version, but this is causing a problem because just later, Lerna try to do an npm install, resulting in a no matching version found for the just bumped local package.

// automatically bumped bar package.json
{
  "dependencies": {
    "@org/foo": "^0.1.1"
  }
}

? Are you sure you want to create these versions? Yes
lerna info execute Skipping releases
lerna ERR! Error: Command failed with exit code 1: npm install --package-lock-only --ignore-scripts
lerna ERR! npm ERR! code ETARGET
lerna ERR! npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for @org/foo@^0.1.1.
lerna ERR! npm ERR! notarget In most cases you or one of your dependencies are requesting
lerna ERR! npm ERR! notarget a package version that doesn't exist.

My question is, is this the correct approach to this problem? Or is there something else I can do? The goal here is that I want to apply a new version, but without running this installation process (because it will cause the error), or maybe find a way to keep the asterisk into the package JSON.
