php - Composer hook to fix package version -

i need hook in composer installation process fix versions of second level dependencies of root package. i.e. package depends on packages (with correct versions) these packages depends on other packages , versions "wrong". try use pre-package-install hook patch such versions not working me, code inside installer::prepackageinstall not executed.

root package composer.json looks this:

{     "name": "***/root-package",      "repositories": [ { "type": "composer", "url": "http://***/packages.json" } ],      "require": {         "***/first-level-dep-1": "dev-release-xx",         "***/first-level-dep-2": "dev-release-xx"     },      "scripts": {         "pre-package-install": [             "root-package\\installer::prepackageinstall"         ]     } } 

first level dependency composer.json looks this:

{     "name": "***/first-level-dep-1",      "repositories": [ { "type": "composer", "url": "http://***/packages.json" } ],      "require": {         "***/second-level-dep-1": "*",  // !!! here problem         "***/second-level-dep-2": "*"     } } 

i need replace * appropriate version during installation process.

you don't have "fix" version. should add second-level-dep own dependency in correct version, , case solved.

if first-level-dependency requires version of package, depending on correct version restrict installable versions 1 allow.
