    - laminas/laminas-cli 0.1.4 requires composer/package-versions-deprecated ^1.10.99 -> satisfiable by composer/package-versions-deprecated[1.10.99].
    - Installation request for laminas/laminas-cli ^0.1.4 -> satisfiable by laminas/laminas-cli[0.1.4].

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

oof. That's more of an issue with the skeleton, to be honest.

For now, change the ocramius/package-versions entry in your application to composer/package-versions-deprecated. (Ideally, the latter would be marked as a replacement of the former, but that's evidently not the case yet.) After that, try installing laminas-cli.

[weierophinney]

grrr... it IS marked as a replacement. But I forgot that if a package is required in the root package, a nested dependency cannot act as a replacement.

So:

$ composer require composer/package-versions-deprecated laminas/laminas-cli

should get the job done.

@weierophinney Thank you, that seems working. I will transfer the issue to the mezzio-skeleton.

[samsonasik]

oh, can't transfer to different org

[samsonasik]

I create PR at mezzio/mezzio-skeleton#26 for it.

[weierophinney]

@samsonasik I think we should also document this solution in the FAQ, because people who have built from either the Mezzio or Laminas skeletons are going to run into this as they start adopting laminas-cli.

@weierophinney I created PR for FAQ addition at #46
