Confusing error message if the version for a dependency is not found in the repo

[vovtz]

If the particular version of a dependency as stated in your Helm chart can’t be found in the repo’s index, an error message that is not entirely clear is output (where ‘[name-of-the-dependency-or-dependencies]’ is something alike ‘adminer’ or ‘adminer, apline’):

Error: can't get a valid version for repositories [name-of-the-dependency-or-dependencies]. Try changing the version constraint in Chart.yaml

No versions, nor the relevant repos are mentioned in the error message. It also speaks of a ‘valid version for repositories’, not of the versions of the subcharts. Also no mention is made of ‘dependencies’.

Output of helm version:

version.BuildInfo{Version:"v3.9.4", GitCommit:"dbc6d8e20fe1d58d50e6ed30f09a04a77e4c68db", GitTreeState:"clean", GoVersion:"go1.19"}

But this applies to earlier versions equally.

Output of kubectl version:

Client Version: v1.23.5

But not relevant.

Cloud Provider/Platform (AKS, GKE, Minikube etc.): Any and all, N/A
