Failed to update php composer.phar - Typo in package name

Question

I created a new Symfony 2.1 project and added a custom package downloaded by the SVN repo. Now I am trying to upgrade the project to Symfony 2.2, but at any time when I try to execute the php ~/bin/composer.phar update command, the following error message appears:

 Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies (including require-dev) Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages. Problem 1 - The requested package custom/utils could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name. Potential causes: - A typo in the package name - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting see <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/composer-dev/_g3ASeIFlrc/discussion> for more details. Read <http://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md> for further common problems. 

This is Symfony 2.2 composer.json :

 { "name": "symfony/framework-standard-edition", "description": "The \"Symfony Standard Edition\" distribution", "autoload": { "psr-0": { "": "src/" } }, "repositories": [ { "type": "vcs", "url": "svn+ssh://sources.de.ext/usr/local/svnroot/utils" } ], "require": { "php": ">=5.3.3", "symfony/symfony": "2.2.*", "doctrine/orm": "~2.2,>=2.2.3", "doctrine/doctrine-bundle": "1.2.*", "twig/extensions": "1.0.*", "symfony/assetic-bundle": "2.1.*", "symfony/swiftmailer-bundle": "2.2.*", "symfony/monolog-bundle": "2.2.*", "sensio/distribution-bundle": "2.2.*", "sensio/framework-extra-bundle": "2.2.*", "sensio/generator-bundle": "2.2.*", "jms/security-extra-bundle": "1.4.*", "jms/di-extra-bundle": "1.3.*", "custom/utils": "*" }, "scripts": { "post-install-cmd": [ "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::buildBootstrap", "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::clearCache", "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installAssets", "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installRequirementsFile" ], "post-update-cmd": [ "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::buildBootstrap", "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::clearCache", "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installAssets", "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installRequirementsFile" ] }, "config": { "bin-dir": "bin" }, "minimum-stability": "alpha", "extra": { "symfony-app-dir": "app", "symfony-web-dir": "web", "branch-alias": { "dev-master": "2.2-dev" } } } 

Custom utils have the following composer.json :

 { "name": "custom/utils", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "The Custom Libraries", "autoload": { "psr-0": { "Blogo": "src/", "WideImage": "lib/" } }, "require": { "symfony/console": "2.*", "symfony/yaml": "2.*" } } 

Can someone help me figure out what's wrong with the new 2.2 Symfony? Because this error message only appears Symfony 2.2 update.

Answer 1

Try running composer update --verbose or composer show custom/utils --verbose . Both will show you some loading data for your SVN repository. It should indicate which versions are downloaded or not.

I assume that you have a version of dev-trunk , and if you need it, it will most likely work. You should not specify version: 1.0.0 in your composer.json, because the composer reads version information from tags / branches in your VCS.
