Recently, while working on the codebase for this very site, I tried running composer update
to upgrade from Drupal 8.8.4 to 8.8.5. Apparently I did this at just the wrong time, as there was an issue with Drupal's dependencies in 8.9.x-dev
which caused it to be selected as the upgrade candidate, and the default drupal/core-recommended
Composer setting was to allow dev
stability, so my site got updated to 8.9.x-dev, which was a bit of a surprise.
"No worries," I thought, "I use git, so I'm protected!" A git reset
later, then change my composer.json
to use "minimum-stability": "stable"
, and all is well with the world, right?
Well, no. You see, the problem is Drupal 8.9.x changed from an abandoned package, zendframework/zend-diactoros
, to a new package, laminas/laminas-diactoros
, that replaces
the abandoned package.
