Can you give some context about the issue and how to approach this?

This is a docs issue, so it would require understanding what property we're documenting here. The namespace of a dependency allows deploying a dependency in a different namespace. It's not the most common scenario but it's a use case that exists. At the moment namespace is not mentioned in docs: https://www.okteto.com/docs/reference/manifest/#dependencies-string-optional

As part of this ticket we can add it to the docs

Definitely still an issue as the Manifest documentation still gives the type as an optional list of strings and there are quite a few properties available but only documented above as an "extended notation".

Apologies, as a followup: It looks like Namespace itself is going to be removed in the upcoming 3.x branch, but still exists in the 2.31.0 release. I think it would still be worth documenting as part of the whole resource though.
