[BUG] npm deprecate does not support alpha characters

[globules-io]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

npm ERR! code E400
npm ERR! 400 Bad Request - PUT https://registry.npmjs.org/@globules-io%2fogx.js - deprecations must be strings

Expected Behavior

deprecate the package that I was allowed to publish
If characters are not allowed in version then publish should not work.

Note that these versions undeprecated successfully (??)
1.8.7-b
1.8.7-c
1.8.7-d

Steps To Reproduce

npm deprecate @globules-io/ogx.js@1.8.7-f deprecated

Environment

• OS: Windows 10 x64
• Node: 16.10.0
• npm: 7.24.2

@globules-io can you try replicating this problem on the latest version of npm? (ie. npm i -g npm)
