[pkg-php-pear] Bug#955485: Composer not working

[Carlos R. Pasqualini]

Dear Maintainer et all



I've been hit by this issue, after setup composer from zero a few days
ago, right now it doesn't even work without parameters:


~: composer 

In BaseIO.php line 128:
                                                                      
  Your github oauth token for github.com contains invalid characters:
"ghp_AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"





I made the workaround of switching from oauth to HTTP Basic Auth in
the file: ~/.config/composer/auth.json


  "http-basic": {
    "github.com": {
      "username": "[YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME]",
      "password": "ghp_[YOUR-PERSONAL-TOKEN]"
    }
  }

I found this workaround in:

Thanks!
