9.0.0-beta.3 controller.php missing plugin headers - uninstallable

[treyduffy]

Can't install beta.3 using any normal methods.

From Sage 9 empty theme I have no way of updating to beta3. Adding the repository directly to my composer.json will install it into ../../plugins/controller (from inside theme dir), but the controller.php is lacking a plugin header so it won't activate. After manually adding the Plugin header and activating it complains that it's missing dependencies.

You can't manually install via zip for the same reason.

Thoughts? I know I'm missing something obvious here, any help would be much appreciated.

@treyduffy Controller is no longer a mu-plugin, it is now a Sage theme dependency. (a Composer package)

You should be able to remove the repositories object in your example above and it should work. Alternatively, change the type from mu-plugin to package.
