{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Legacy package index prevents installation of current release of a package","articleBody":"## Bug Report\r\n\r\n- [x] Yes, I reviewed the [contribution guidelines](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/contributing/).\r\n- [x] Yes, more specifically, I reviewed the guidelines on [how to write clear bug reports](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/bug-reports/).\r\n\r\n**Describe the current, buggy behavior**\r\n\r\nI'm trying to install a package, [pressbooks/pb-cli](https://github.com/pressbooks/pb-cli), which is listed in the now-deprecated [WP-CLI Package Index](https://wp-cli.org/package-index/).\r\n\r\nThe current release of the package is 2.1.0 (corresponding to https://github.com/pressbooks/pb-cli/commit/cc81de0ee946afad8abe291f4b59abb5237bf6ee). However, installing via the package command always installs the last release listed in the WP-CLI Package Index, which was 2.0.1 (corresponding to https://github.com/pressbooks/pb-cli/commit/9fb35e6129bbf51b53408671edce9bee5b75964d). If I try to specify the 2.1.0 version, I get the following error:\r\n\r\n```\r\nYour requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.\r\nProblem 1\r\n    - Root composer.json requires pressbooks/pb-cli 2.1.0, it is satisfiable by pressbooks/pb-cli[2.1.0] from composer repo (https://repo.packagist.org) but pressbooks/pb-cli[dev-master, dev-dev, 1.0.0, 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 1.4.0, 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.7.0, 1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.8.2, 2.0.0, 2.0.1] from composer repo (https://wp-cli.org/package-index) has higher repository priority. The packages with higher priority do not match your constraint and are therefore not installable. See https://getcomposer.org/repoprio for details and assistance.\r\n```\r\n\r\n**Describe how other contributors can replicate this bug**\r\n\r\n- Run: `wp package install pressbooks/pb-cli`\r\n- Inspect lock file in `~/.wp-cli/packages/composer.lock`\r\n- Observe that the installed version is as follows:\r\n```js\r\n          \"name\": \"pressbooks/pb-cli\",\r\n            \"version\": \"dev-master\",\r\n            \"source\": {\r\n                \"type\": \"git\",\r\n                \"url\": \"https://github.com/pressbooks/pb-cli.git\",\r\n                \"reference\": \"9fb35e6129bbf51b53408671edce9bee5b75964d\"\r\n            }\r\n          }\r\n```\r\n- Run: `wp package uninstall pressbooks/pb-cli`\r\n- Run: `wp package install pressbooks/pb-cli:2.1.0`\r\n- Observe the error that ensues:\r\n```\r\nYour requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.\r\nProblem 1\r\n    - Root composer.json requires pressbooks/pb-cli 2.1.0, it is satisfiable by pressbooks/pb-cli[2.1.0] from composer repo (https://repo.packagist.org) but pressbooks/pb-cli[dev-master, dev-dev, 1.0.0, 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 1.4.0, 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.7.0, 1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.8.2, 2.0.0, 2.0.1] from composer repo (https://wp-cli.org/package-index) has higher repository priority.
