Describe the Bug

When minimumReleaseAge is configured (e.g. minimumReleaseAge: 1440), pnpm should skip versions that were published recently (less than 24 hours ago).
However, if a new major version of a package is published recently and therefore excluded by minimumReleaseAge, pnpm fails to fallback to the latest version of the previous major release.

Expected Behavior

Package versions on the registry

Expected behavior:

• pnpm install foo should install [email protected], since 2.0.0 is too new (published < 24 hours ago).

Actual behavior:

• pnpm fails with “ERR_PNPM_NO_MATCHING_VERSION”
