Using forked Symfony bundle via composer fails

I'm trying to install the hslavich/SimplesamlphpBundle. As this bundle has dependency problems with simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp v1.13.2, I forked the repository and require dev-master instead.

Now I modified my Symfony2's project composer.json accordingly, in order to require my forked bundle instead of the original one:

{
    ...
    "require": {
        ...
        "hslavich/simplesamlphp-bundle": "dev-master"
    },
    ...
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "[email protected]:saxid/SimplesamlphpBundle.git"
        }
    ]
}

But I still get the same error message as if no fork used:

Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp v1.13.2 requires openid/php-openid dev-master#ee669c6a9d4d95b58ecd9b6945627276807694fb as 2.2.2 -> no matching package found.
    - simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp v1.13.1 requires openid/php-openid dev-master#ee669c6a9d4d95b58ecd9b6945627276807694fb as 2.2.2 -> no matching package found.
    - simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp v1.13.0 requires openid/php-openid dev-master#ee669c6a9d4d95b58ecd9b6945627276807694fb as 2.2.2 -> no matching package found.
    - hslavich/simplesamlphp-bundle dev-master requires simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp ~1.13 -> satisfiable by simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp[v1.13.0, v1.13.1, v1.13.2].
    - Installation request for hslavich/simplesamlphp-bundle dev-master -> satisfiable by hslavich/simplesamlphp-bundle[dev-master].

What do I have to modify in my composer.json in order to require my fork?

You need to lower your minimum stability from stable to dev in order to install unstable versions, like dev-master.

Change your composer.json:

"require": {
    "hslavich/simplesamlphp-bundle": "dev-master"
},
"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "vcs",
        "url": "[email protected]:saxid/SimplesamlphpBundle.git"
    }
],
"minimum-stability": "dev",
"prefer-stable": true

Also you need to enable prefer-stable to tell composer that you want stable packages when it is possible.

A (pretty ugly) workaround is to submit the fork to packagist and to directly require the fork instead of the original bundle.

Plus: I had to require the dev-master of simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp in my Symfony composer.json as well – although this requirement has already been defined in my forked bundle composer file.

"require": {
    ...
    "saxid/simplesamlphp-bundle": "dev-master",
    "simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp": "dev-master"
},

Try to delete the composer.lock file and the whole vendor/ directory. Then run composer update --prefer-source to fully refresh the dependencies.
