Description

### Is this a regression?

- [X] Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version

V16

### Description

This has happened before (https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/19209) and now happens again when trying to upgrade to angular v17.

Tried to install the update with npm to check if yarn is the cause and npm goes through successfully.

### Minimal Reproduction

Try to upgrade angular 16 to 17 using yarn v3 (current specific version we're using is `v3.6.4`, but I tried to upgrade yarn to `v4.0.2` and it's the same behavior).

Global angular/cli is v17, local is v16 (obviously).

Research direction

Start with the Angular CLI `update` command and reproduce an Angular 16-to-17 upgrade using Yarn 3 or 4, then compare the same upgrade with npm. Trace where the temporary CLI version is installed and capture the failure details; done means the Yarn-based upgrade completes successfully.
