pixi 0.27.1 fails to parse project manifest with *xx* pattern version

[RenaudLN]

Checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pixi, using pixi --version.

Reproducible example

Add a dependency with special pattern like the following to pyproject.toml

[tool.pixi.dependencies]
jaxlib = "*cpu*"

Issue description

Pixi commands fail with the following error message:

if I rollback to 0.27.0 it works as expected

Expected behavior

Pixi should be able to parse these pattern versions, as it did in prior versions.

I will have to investigate but I think in the previous version this would also not parse properly. We expect a version string not a matchspec. I think what you want to achieve is:

jaxlib = { build = "*cpu*" }

E.g. select any version that has cpu anywhere in the build string.

I made an attempt at improving the error message: #1786

[RenaudLN]

It was definitely working with 0.27.0 but thanks, the 'build' fix works with 0.27.1!

And thanks for the error message update!

Closing this now that #1786 has been merged.
