Issues installing package kchat

Standard debian 9 system, heavily used for development of many systems including many composer based packages but few from the phpclasses repository, so this might be a phpclasses issue. I don't know.

Following is part of the output from 'composer install'. I do not know if your package is actually whole and correctly installed.

Composer has done the best it can but the resulting "vendor" files are not known to be what you intended. Generally, composer actions should not give results that require thinking.

Hi Brandon,

please provide some more detail how are you installing ?

Are you using this command ( composer create-project php-kchat/kchat ) ?

No - I followed the instructions on https://www.phpclasses.org/package/10705-PHP-Database-driven-PHP-live-chat-system.html#download

Hello Brandon,

I don't know if this is still relevant for you. There was a bug in the Zip Archive generation for Composer. The bug was fixed now. If you still would like to use Composer to install this package can you please try again now?
