Solutions

1. Update the dependency ${name} spec in ${pkg.name}'s package.json to the expected value ${spec}
2. Re-run the release build so the packed manifest reflects the corrected spec

When it happens

Trigger: Raised by the npm release verifier when a packed package's dependency version spec differs from the expected pinned value.

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.
