After hours of struggling to update Drupal with Composer (see my solution here), I have now some difficulties to update some modules. I was able to update with composer update drupal/bootstrap:3.11 --with-dependencies, but I could not update a module with composer update drupal/pathauto:1.1 --with-dependencies, which returns the following error.
Package "drupal/pathauto:1.1" listed for update is not installed.
Ignoring. Nothing to install or update.
The content of the composer.json file is the following.

I tried with composer update drupal/token, but it gives the following error.
Nothing to install or update
composer install drupal/token gives the following error.
Invalid argument drupal/token.
Use "composer require drupal/token" instead to add packages to your composer.json.
Instead, composer require drupal/token gives this error
Using version ^1.1 for drupal/token
./composer.json has been updated Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Nothing to install or update
I checked the composer.lock file and its content is the following.
"name": "drupal/token",
"version": "1.1.0",
"source": {
"type": "git",
"url": "https://git.drupal.org/project/token",
"reference": "8.x-1.1"
},
So, it seems thats it is correct, but the module page still shows it as requiring to be updated.
How can I solve this and install these modules?
composer update drupal/token(drop the version) maybe? I’ve never seen an example of an update which includes the version, thats generally the point of the version in composer.json. Beyond that check composer.lock - does composer definitely believe that package is installed? Maybe your previous solution, which looks heavy-handed, nuked something important.composer install drupal/tokenmight be enough to sync things back up againtoken.info.ymlisversion: '8.x-1.0'so physically the module is not updated. I will continue pushing on this issue. Thank you anyway for your help.
