Trouble updating from 2.3.0 to Latest

[adampatterson]

• Installer Version: 2.3.0

Description:

I wanted to update the installer so that I could use the new JetStrap options.

Steps To Reproduce:

I ran laravel --version giving me 2.3.0

Then I ran composer global update laravel/installer

Resulting in:

Changed current directory to /Users/adampatterson/.composer
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Nothing to install or update
Package laravel/lumen-installer is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.
Generating autoload files

So I ran composer global require laravel/installer

Resulting in:

Changed current directory to /Users/adampatterson/.composer
Using version ^4.0 for laravel/installer
./composer.json has been updated
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

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

You have other conflicting global dependencies.

Any insight as to what the conflict is?

I forced the update by editing ~/.composer/composer.json removed the old Lumen installer and then ran composer global update and it worked fine.
