Replacing path local package with upstream fails #11111
Description
The project requires "sjbr/static-info-tables", which was kept inside the project as a path-repository.
Now that the upstream has the relevant fixes included, I remove the local package, hence the upstream one should be taken.
Composer tries to do this, but fails to remove the symlink in the vendor folder (pointing to the former local package).
Therefore, it fails to install the new version.
The workaround is easy, but cumbersome: Remove the symlink manually, and everything works as exepcted.
My composer.json:
{
"repositories": [
{
"type": "path",
"url": "packages/*"
}
],
....
"require": {
"sjbr/static-info-tables": "^11"
