Lerna bootstrapping root only

See original GitHub issue

Under what circumstances does lerna bootstrap only the root package?

Since a while, lerna bootstrap doesn’t bootstrap all of the packages, and the below is logged:

lerna info bootstrap root only

Moreover, reverting commits (even to those where everything worked) seems to have no impact, and Lerna still bootstraps root only.
In new, simple Lerna projects, the same behviour occurs.
Trying older Lerna versions did not help.

Unfortunately, the project’s closed source.

{
  "packages": ["packages/*"],
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "useWorkspaces": true,
  "npmClient": "yarn",
  "npmClientArgs": ["--ignore-engines"]
}

Executable	Version
`lerna --version`	3.20.2
`npm --version`	6.13.7
`yarn --version`	1.22.4
`node --version`	v13.11.0

I am currently facing this issue, using Lerna v5.5.1 and npm v8.15.0. Edit: It turns out that I was getting this because I had "useWorkspaces": true set in lerna.json, but I am using npm, and useWorkspaces is for yarn. Setting "useWorkspaces": false fixed the issue. Posting this in case anyone makes the same mistake I did.
