Error when running composer to update roundcube

[ychaouche]

Upgrading roundcube from 1.2.4 to 1.6.6,
I am facing errors from composer.
After several deprecation warnings,
the main error seems to be :


  [ErrorException]
  Trying to access array offset on value of type null

Which is too generic to be of any help.
Full trace in this gist (to avoid the 20 000 characters restriction)

I am using php 8.2.24,
and here is composer.json

The composer.phar file is old. Get more recent composer version.

The newer version of composer says:

The PEAR repository has been removed from Composer 2.x
yet roundcube 1.6.6 composer.json file has PEAR repository entries.

Used the latest version of the 1.x branch which is 1.10.27,
and now I have the following error regarding crypt:

I think may be there are 2 problems. First composer v1 is reaching the end of life see these announcements from Packagist Feb 2021 and Sep 2024. Then I think the second problem is your composer.json file is out of date and you have repos listed that do not exist any more. If you look at the composer.json file shipped with Roundcube 1.6.x the only repository it lists is the defunct Roundcube Plugins repo. The almost all the others were removed in version 1.3 of Roundcube.
