Description of bug

I'm getting the following error (same with all the crates' versions listed below) when trying to update to stable2409-1 using psvm:

    Updating crates.io index
error: failed to select a version for the requirement `emulated-integration-tests-common = "^14.1.0"`
candidate versions found which didn't match: 14.0.0, 13.0.0, 11.0.0, ...
location searched: crates.io index
required by package `asset-hub-kusama-emulated-chain v1.0.0 (/Users/**/**/runtimes/integration-tests/emulated/chains/parachains/assets/asset-hub-kusama)`

The main reason behind this issue is that these versions seem to be missing from crates.io.

Steps to reproduce

I ran the update using this command:

psvm --version stable2409-1

pvsm bumped the versions to some crates (at least 6 or 7 of them). After that, I started getting those cargo errors, just to find out that those versions didn't exist at all on crates.io. 😅

When trying to update to stable2409, it worked out perfectly fine (see runtimes#490). But failed when trying to update to stable2409-1 (here).

So the patch publishing for not the most recent stable is mostly broken due to a version conflict on crates IO for the most recent stable, see polkadot-fellows/runtimes#493 (comment).

Wouldn't the solution to this be to just simply bump minor versions whenever a new stable version is released? Then the patch versions can be reserved for patches to the individual stable releases. I know this would kind a break the semantic versioning, but I think it is a very simple fix that helps us actually releasing patches on crates.io for older stable versions.

@ggwpez @EgorPopelyaev @Morganamilo this is high priority IMO, looks like we have a broken patch release mechanism potentially blocking properly delivering security fixes or other high priority fixes.

PSVM is picking the version from the branch, so it has them before they land on crates-io.

@Morganamilo do you know when sc-network for example will land? Its version is 0.45.1 on the branch but 0.45.0 on crates-io.

About the versioning conflict that @xlc highlight, I am not sure how it is currently handled. Possibly it should bump the minor version even for patch bumps, if the current patch version on crates-io is not zero. Have to ask @Morganamilo how this is currently handled.

I'm working on fixing this now. Will try to get it fixed asap.

This is the concerning part to me. It currently breaks our stable releases support.

@Morganamilo was this solved? If yes, please close the issue.
