Hello @veaux 👋 None of the versions of sf you shared match the latest release.

Shared: 2.39.6
Latest: 2.40.7

Update to the latest version of Salesforce CLI (docs) and confirm that you're still seeing your issue.
You can also try the rc and nightly releases! (docs)

After updating, share the full output of sf version --verbose --json

@veaux Can you share the contents of the package file? As well as the debug output from running

DEBUG=sf:@salesforce/cli:hooks:preparse sf package install --flags-dir ./flag-values

Thanks!

With the newest version I no longer see this issue can close.
