How to use local composer packages in Laravel

I'm trying to use local composer package in Laravel (8.0) - based on How to develop a simple Laravel package locally

I'm using simonschaufi/laravel-dkim

  1. Local copy of package is located in directory:/packages/simonschaufi/laravel-dkim
  2. My composer file:
"repositories": {
     "laravel-dkim": {
         "type": "path",
         "url": "/packages/simonschaufi/laravel-dkim",
         "options": {
             "symlink": true
         }
     }
 },
 "require": {      
     "simonschaufi/laravel-dkim": "@dev"
 },
 "config": {
     "preferred-install": "source",
     "sort-packages": true,
     "optimize-autoloader": true
 },
 "minimum-stability": "dev",
 "prefer-stable": true

Unfortunately, after composer update still get original package (instead the local one)

Do You know what is wrong ????

Based on help from Simon Schaufelberger:

the problem was because I used old version of Composer (1.8.4). After composer update (to 1.10.13) local package was installed correctly :)

The correct code in composer file is:

"repositories": [
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "./packages/*"
        }
    ],

Files should be in directory /packages/laravel-dkim

Try changing the repositories key to:

  "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "/packages/simonschaufi/laravel-dkim"
        }
    ],

Other potential problem could be the require:

"require": {      
        "simonschaufi/laravel-dkim": "dev-master"
    },

Also the require seems a little small? Do you have a duplicate key? Also double check the local path to the package.
