Installing v4 with a caret range with Yarn retrieves a 5 year old deprecated version

Issue Summary

Installing v4 with a caret range with Yarn retrieves a 5 year old deprecated version

Steps to Reproduce

Using Yarn v1.22.19 in an empty directory:

1. yarn add twilio@^4.0.0-rc.5

Notice this actually installed 4.6.0:

success Saved 67 new dependencies.
info Direct dependencies
└─ twilio@4.6.0
info All dependencies
...

Technical details:

• There appears to have been a typo in a 3.6.0 release 5 years ago that produced this 4.6.0 version: https://www.npmjs.com/package/twilio/v/4.6.0
• I tried NPM v9.2.0 and v8.19.3 and did not see this behavior, so this may be specific to how Yarn handles deprecated versions when caret range matching.

Thank you for creating this issue! However, I was unable to re-create it.

When I run yarn add twilio@^4.0.0-rc.5, I get the following output: no matches found: twilio@^4.0.0-rc.5

I will be closing this issue, but it can be reopened if the issue appears again.
