esy isn't able to run a pre-1.0.0 binary when trying to fetch it using "*"

[shubhamkumar13]

Esy version: 0.7.2 Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS x86_64

Issue: When trying to install runtime_events_tools I am unable to run esy olly --help like a cli tool something like esy dune --help when I version it with a *. But it seems to work fine when I specify the version of the runtime_events_tools in the package.json config. I suspect this is because it is a pre-1.0.0 version of the binary.

Package.json

{
    "dependencies": {
        "ocaml": "5.1.x",
        "@opam/minttea": "*"
    },
    "devDependencies": {
        "@opam/dot-merlin-reader": "*",
        "@opam/ocamlformat": "*",
        "@opam/ocaml-lsp-server": "*",
        "@opam/runtime_events_tools": "*"
    }
}

Actual behavior:

❯ esy olly --help
error: unable to resolve command: olly

esy: exiting due to errors above

Expected behavior:

✦ ❯ esy olly --help
