ArgumentError when adding packages with "+" in version

[arlowhite]

Julia 1.11.1

Packages can have a version that causes an ArgumentError when added.

In a new project:

(julia_tmp) pkg> add [email protected]+0
ERROR: ArgumentError: invalid base 10 digit '+' in "0+0"

Same error with Pkg API: Pkg.add(name="MKL_jll", version="2024.2.0+0")

---

add [email protected] works

(julia_tmp) pkg> status MKL_jll
  [856f044c] MKL_jll v2024.2.0+0

[KristofferC]

I think this works Pkg.add(; name="MKL_jll", version=v"2024.2.0+0")

[arlowhite]

That does work, but you can't do that in the ] REPL.

(jl_981J6x) pkg> add MKL_jll@v"2024.2.0+0"

ERROR: Unable to parse 2024.2.0+0 as a package.

In any case, I would expect version values printed by status or the string conversion of a VersionNumber to be valid values when using Pkg.add or ] add <name>@<version>
