"^1.0" breaks composer.phar install

excerpt from vagrant composer.phar install

Writing /home/vagrant/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/provider-johnpbloch$wordpress-core-installer.json into cache [RuntimeException]
Could not load package johnpbloch/wordpress-core-installer in http://packagist.org: [UnexpectedValueException] Could not parse version constraint ^1.0: Invalid version string "^1.0"

Update your Composer?

[actinism]

That fixed the "^1.0", but now I have dependency errors for all wpackagist requirements... but it seems to work with a rollback and adding "composer-plugin-api": "1.0.0" to composer.json

[Rarst]

Which dependency errors?

[actinism]

to clarify, we're using an older wordpress-installation (3.9.x) in our backend production environment (not public available), and these are the wpackagist plugin versions:

"wpackagist/co-authors-plus": "3.1.1",
"wpackagist/duplicate-post": "2.6",
"wpackagist/json-api": "1.1.1",
"wpackagist/no-category-base-wpml": "1.1.0",
"wpackagist/pods": "2.4.3",
"wpackagist/polldaddy": "2.0.25",
"wpackagist/wordpress-importer": "0.6.1",
"wpackagist/bwp-minify": "1.3.3",
"wpackagist-plugin/wp-embed-facebook": "1.8.3"

composer loads to ~/.composer/cache/repo/....json and stops with: Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

In an other installation with slighty other versions it works. If I figure it out I'll will comment it here...

Composer version 1.0-dev (8e9659bd8317ad3f623c4d17940380443cf8772c) 2015-06-14 09:10:46

Could you provide composer.json example exhibiting the issue? Not necessarily all of it, just the minimum it takes to run and see what happens there.

[actinism]

to get rid of all caches I used: rm -rf ~/.composer ; rm -f composer.lock ; rm -rf vendor ; ./composer.phar install

composer.json

    {
      "type": "composer",

  }

wpackagist/ namespace is deprecated, use wpackagist-plugin/. Also wrong Pods version. Otherwise this installs for me and has no issue with core installer.

[actinism]

Due to production environment we cannot upgrade any version now unless days of testing. ;-)

[Rarst]

There is no 2.4.3 version of Pods available from official repo at the moment https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/developers/

[actinism]

I see... In an other environment we used wp 4.2.2 and pods 2.5.1.2 ... that's also not available. :-( Well this seems to be an overall issue due to different components and not really related to the core-installer.

May I should close this issue for now
