My enivronment is: Limesurvey Version on LTS 3.27, PHP 7.4, Linux, MySQL 8.0 . Trying to run composer, I get this:
Googling tells me "This package is abandoned and no longer maintained. The author suggests using the php-webdriver/webdriver package instead. " (link ) - so Should I change the name of the package? Another Googling tells me "add ext-zip to your required section of composer.json" Do you have tipps what I should do to resolve this issue? Not 100% sure which is the right approach here.

Why you try to run composer ?

Well I am running my limsurvey on a virtual docker-like environment. The source code sits inside an image. When I update the source code, composer will be run automatically (to make sure the right packages are installed to run the application). If I did not run composer (deleting composer.json) and something required misses, I will run into the same problem, or not?

It's requrire-dev : --no-dev can do the trick.

I think best solution is

1. report the issue
2. Fix your docker continuous integration to use --no-dev
3. if don'(t work : delete composer.json for your project

ok so as long as I don't do development, I can just make facebook/webdriver that a non-requirement?
php composer.phar require php-webdriver/webdriver manually works by the way.
php composer.phar require facebook/webdriver works also manually.

getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#install-i

php composer.phar --no-dev

If you don't create a dev webserver : ALWAYS add --no-dev …

ok thx! My system runs composer automatically, so I just deleted this require-dev part ...
