lerna: Publish fails with 403 after update from lerna v3 to v5

Current Behavior

On our pipeline we build and publish our updated packages. We have been using lerna v3.22.1 for some time. It’s working fine. Tried updating to v5.1.6 and now the publishing fails. Did not do any other changes other than updating the version of lerna.

Are there any known breaking changes we should be aware of? Something else I should have updated?

Edit: Still fails with Lerna v6.4.1 with same error.

Expected Behavior

I expect to still be able to publish our packages with updated lerna. This worked fine with lerna v3.

Steps to Reproduce

This is the relevant part of our groovy script:

curl -u$artifactoryUser:$artifactoryPassword https://build-artifactory.xxx.com/artifactory/api/npm/auth >> ~/.npmrc
yarn run lerna publish --yes

It seems with v5 it no longer package the files and maybe that’s why it fails the publish? Not sure what else to look for in regards to error logs or other issues?
