Describe the bug

Initialized turbo, and can't remove packages inside apps/expo directory. Made already some commits to the repository, but now decided to get rid of @shopify/flash-list package, and can't do it.

pnpm remove @shopify/flash-list
../..                                    |  WARN  `node_modules` is present. Lockfile only installation will make it out-of-date
 ERR_PNPM_FETCH_404  GET https://registry.npmjs.org/@acme%2Feslint-config: Not Found - 404

This error happened while installing a direct dependency of /home/aleshaoleg/Documents/Projects/wealth-way/apps/expo

@acme/eslint-config is not in the npm registry, or you have no permission to fetch it.

No authorization header was set for the request.

With installation, there was no problem at all and all of the @acme packages were installed.

cd apps/expo && pnpm remove @shopify/flash-list

I'm also experiencing this, I got used to deleting it from package.json and then running pnpm i 🙈

Run with --filter or -F from root and it should work:

Hi I also ran into this issue. Is there a way we could enable running the "remove" from a workspace? Any idea why this is not working?

edit
seems to be a problem with the "workspace:" protocol/prefix.
