Problem with local packages in turborepo

[motiejunas]

I have this dependency in my app package.json:
"lib": "file:../../packages/lib"

lib package.json:

{
"name": "lib",
"version": "0.0.0",
"main": "./src/index.ts",
"types": "./src/index.ts"
}

I get this error when run npm install:

☔️ error api has a dependency on lib@file:../../packages/lib but the version of lib in the repo is 0.0.0 which is not within range of the depended on version, please update the dependency version
☔️ info the above errors may be fixable with yarn manypkg fix

I think this is a bug.

Note: There seems to be an incompatibility problem here with manypkg and pnpm. This problem was first reported three years ago.

I have the same problem, but I'm referencing my local package dependency (ui) using the workspace:... syntax via pnpm:

"ui": "workspace:*"

Error:

web has a dependency on ui@workspace:* but the version of ui in the repo is 0.0.1 which is 
not within range of the depended on version, please update the dependency version

While this does work, be advised that you may be missing out on some of the benefits that come along with using the workspace:... protocol.

PRs are welcome 😉 I definitely don't have the capacity to work on this but I could review a PR that would introduce such a feature.

@Andarist Could you take a look at this PR? It seems to provide at least basic workspace support.

Turborepo defaults to pnpm and also recommends @manypkg/cli for managing deps, so this issue is going to pop up for anyone using that set of tools.
