Extra details
This bug has been introduced with #1589 in version 2.29.3.
When running changeset pre enter <tag>, followed by changeset version for packages where private is set to true, the error above occurs.
Workaround
When setting privatePackages.tag to true in the changeset configuration, this error does not occur.
Note: The privatePackages configuration option is missing in the documentation.
