Dependabot recently updated a lot of my repositories with nonsensical compat bounds for standard libraries, as in

```julia-auto
LinearAlgebra = "< 0.0.1, 1"

```

then it notifies me that

```julia-auto
Dependabot tried to update this pull request, but something went wrong. We're looking into it, but in the meantime you can retry the update by commenting @dependabot recreate.

```

Then it keeps pestering me about these on a regular basis. Is this a recent bug? Can I do anything to avoid it?
