@m-tymchyk how did you installed this package? Did you used composer? Custom directory?

[m-tymchyk]

To install this package, I used native "require".
Actually I have installed thadafinser/user-agent-parser, that require thadafinser/package-info.
After a while I removed the dependence thadafinser/user-agent-parser from composer.json and launched composer update, where I was got exception.

Step to reproduce:

1. Install thadafinser/package-info by composer require thadafinser/package-info
2. Remove thadafinser/package-info from composer.json
3. Lunch composer update
4. ...
5. Profit!

@m-tymchyk this seems to be an composer issue, dunno if we can really fix it here
composer/composer#5236

I have the same error here, I removed the thadafinser/user-agent-parser dependency as it no longer receives updates and does not support php8.

Interestingly, after running git reset --hard and running composer install again the command ran successfully.
