Composer unpack plugin runs into issue when requiring a dev-release of a module

Can you add your actual steps to reproduce this issue. I cannot reproduce this. Here's the output of composer --version for me...

Composer version 2.7.7 2024-06-10 22:11:12
PHP version 8.3.21 (/opt/homebrew/Cellar/php@8.3/8.3.21/bin/php)

Here's what I'm doing:

composer create-project drupal/recommended-project:^11 recipe-test
composer require drupal/events:1.0.x-dev
composer require drupal/inline_translation:1.x-dev
composer require drupal/eca:3.0.x-dev drupal/modeler_api:1.0.x-dev

The events recipe is successfully unpacked and the modules are installed. No messages from the recipe plugin.

I've also updated to composer 2.7.7 and it does not happen for that version either.

Steps to reproduce from @rkoller

composer create-project drupal/recommended-project:^11 recipe-test
composer require drupal/eca drupal/bpmn_io
composer require drupal/eca:3.0.x-dev drupal/bpmn_io:3.0.x-dev drupal/modeler_api:1.0.x-dev

On the second require you will see drupal/eca does not resolve to a package. in the output.

I've tried to write a test for this but it is hard - I can;t get composer to use an alias for our path repositories used in testing.

I've now got even less steps to cause the problem

composer create-project drupal/recommended-project:^11 recipe-test
cd recipe-test
composer require "drupal/inline_translation:1.x-dev as 1.0.0"

But doing $this->runComposer('require "fixtures/module-b:2.0.1 as 3.0.0"') in a \Drupal\Tests\Composer\Plugin\Unpack\Functional\UnpackRecipeTest does not cause the problem :(

I've tested this successfully. With the commands from #7 I wasn't able to reproduce the issue, but the following showed the error:

composer create-project drupal/recommended-project:^11 recipe-test
cd recipe-test
composer require drupal/eca # <= This installs version 2.0
composer require drupal/eca:3.0.x-dev drupal/modeler_api:1.0.x-dev # <= This shows the expected error

Then I tried again and patched with this MR first. Then the error was gone.

Committed/pushed to 11.x and cherry-picked to 11.2.x, thanks!
