Phpdocumentor: nikic/php-parser v3.0.2 somehow conflicts with phpDocumentor2.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

I did not install nikic/php-parser v3.0.2, I suspect it was installed with more than on other package. I have no clue how to solve this. I can't downgrade nikic/php-parser to a satisfiable version because I can not specify what version to use.

composer show -i -ttells me this:

Which does not solve anything for me, because my whole application is built on, in and under laravel.
