[RuntimeException] Package could not be downloaded for smarty

[gtbear]

Hello. I'm having some problems with smarty installation via composer. I found this problem only on one of my hosts.

PHP: 5.4.20
subversion-1.7.13

Even after failed installation i can see files in vendor/smarty.

composer.json

{
    "require": {
        "smarty/smarty": "v3.1.15"
    }
}

It could be that your svn process returns 1 instead of 0 for some obscure reason. Could you run with -vvv so you get full output including executed commands? Then you could try to run the svn checkout command yourself and after it's done do echo $? to see which return code it had. If it's non-zero that's the problem.

Also you could try to run composer diagnose to check for php configuration issues.

I found the reason. Filesystem was mounted via vboxsf and svn checkout fails each time. After i moved all data to local disk it was fixed.
