Yii2: yiisoft/yii2 2.0.16.1 requires bower-asset/inputmask ~3.2.2 | ~3.3.5

[gregmuellegger]

It seems that yii2 requires the bower-asset/inputmask package, which does not exist. I read about bower-asset/jquery.inputmask as a dependency of yii, so maybe there is something wrongly configured in the yii package?

However, I haven't used yii and composer very much so far, so the problem might be me and not Yii2 :)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

composer require yiisoft/yii2 2.0.16.1

results in

./composer.json has been updated
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
    - Installation request for yiisoft/yii2 2.0.16.1 -> satisfiable by yiisoft/yii2[2.0.16.1].
    - yiisoft/yii2 2.0.16.1 requires bower-asset/inputmask ~3.2.2 | ~3.3.5 -> no matching package found.

@buttflattery
Switch to asset-packagist repo in composer.json:

First disable fxp, add to config: section:

        "fxp-asset": {
            "enabled": false
        }

Then add repo for asset-packagist:

    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://asset-packagist.org"
        }
    ]

As in the example linked by samdark:
