ah thanks for catching this, i somehow missed this, i'll need to ping my
series finally switching pdm over to this crate again. anyhow, for now
this is fine, though i would appreciate this approach a bit more:

```
        if let Some(old_version) = meta_pkg.and_then(|m| m.old_version.as_ref()) {
            let pkg_version = Regex::new(r"^(\d+)\.(\d+)[.-](\d+)")?;
            let captures = pkg_version.captures(old_version);
```

there isn't really anything we can do if we don't have information on
the previous package information. if you do want to stick with your
approach i'd suggest switching to this:

```
            let captures = meta_pkg
                .old_version
                .as_ref()
                .and_then(|v| pkg_version.captures(v));
```
