Description

I have a repository named vendor1/simple-module1.
I created a new release and tag (v1.0.0). Then I downloaded my repo as a zip and PUT it to make it available as a package like described in the documentation.

curl --user your_username:your_password_or_token \
     --upload-file path/to/project.zip \
     https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/composer

Then I followed the other instructions from the documentation.

Then on my webserver I created a new folder with this composer.json:

 {
    "name": "myproject/mypackage",
    "description": "My Package Description",
    "type": "library",
    "keywords": [
        "php",
        "package",
        "myproject"
    ],
    "license": "MIT",
    "authors": [
        {
            "name": "John Doe",
            "email": "johndoe@example.com"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "php": ">=7.3.0"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "MyProject\\MyPackage\\": "src/"
        }
    },
    "require-dev": {
        "squizlabs/php_codesniffer": "^3.5"
    },
    "repositories": {
        "git.company.de/api/packages/JohnDoe/composer": {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://git.company.de/api/packages/JohnDoe/composer"
        }
    }
}

Next I tried to install my package with composer 1.10.26 (latest v1).

composer require vendor1/simple-module1

But I get:

[ErrorException]
Illegal string offset 'versions'

If I try it again with composer v2 (e.g 2.5.5) then it works.

Gitea Version
