Package version creation for a package with dependencies is returning "No version number was found in Dev Hub for package id"

[alper-tovi-cko]

Summary

We have a multi-branch CI/CD pipeline. As of last week, we started seeing an error message around branch validation. Some of our packages were created with --branch tag some are not.

While trying to package metadata with a dependency on another package, we started seeing this error message:
No version number was found in Dev Hub for package id 0Ho08000000KymKCAS and branch undefined and version number 1.5.0.LATEST.

"branch undefined" section of this message is telling me that even though I didn't pass --branch tag while packaging, there is a branch validation happening to see if the dependent package was built on the same branch. This branch validation is new and it shouldn't be enforced.
