I think that is composer version problem. Check withch oxid vm have version of composer and intsall the same and check again.

I’m using VM: https://github.com/OXID-eSales/oxvm_base

Or just update composer to the latest version.

it seems like that fixed the problem. Thank you for your help guys! I tried updating the composer with self-update first, but that also produced an error, so i ended up uninstalling it with apt-get remove composer and then reinstalling it like stated in the official documentation and with 1.5.5 it seems to work (it is downloading the dependencies now).
Thanks again!

Right: composer in the official repositories are usually outdated and cannot be self-updated when installing them with apt. Good luck!
