dependabot uses `corepack` for all updates of node dependencies. The problem here is that `corepack` breaks if the `devEngines.packageManager` does not define a **full semantic version** meaning it does not support semantic ranges. We can work around this by just using the array syntax with only one entry. For reference the *corepack* bug report: nodejs/corepack#729 Signed-off-by: Ferdinand Thiessen <[email protected]>
