Replacing symfony/polyfill-mbstring makes ^6.9 impossible to install

[mbabker]

Describe the bug

With the introduction of the replace.symfony/polyfill-mbstring config in 75857d0, when a project has a dependency that requires the symfony/polyfill-mbstring package, the latest versions of this package cannot be installed.

In a WIP Laravel project, we've recently installed laravel-notification-channels/fcm which indirectly installs this package, and that update installed this package at version 6.8.0. Because of the replace statement, Composer decides it can't update the package.

[jeromegamez]

Uh, that's not good! Thanks for bringing this up! I'll fix and create a release within the next two hours and let you know here. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Lesson learned: Jérôme, don't replace polyfills just because you think an extension is installed because it's included in the require section.

[jeromegamez]

Release 6.9.2 is out, please let me know if this fixes the problem 🙏

[mbabker]

All good, thank you!

This might be a bug in composer itself
