Silent failure when there is a cycle

So I've accidentally generated something similar to this opam file:
opam-monorepo.opam
opam-version: "2.0"
depends: [
"opam-monorepo"
]
dev-repo: "opam-monorepo"
url {
src: "https://github.com/ocaml/opam-monorepo.git"
}
where the main problem is that the package depend on itself.
Surprisingly, the solver doesn't complain and write a lockfile with 0
entries.
If the opam file has another name (no cycle), the solver works as expected and writes a lockfile with 36
entries.

Good cacth! I have a slight idea how this might happen and it shouldn't be too hard to fix!
