Unexpected Error Message When There Are No Matching Versions #117
Description
I tried to install xdebug/xdebug as is shown in the docs and xdebug/xdebug:^3.4 as is shown in the CLI example but received the message:
I believe the problem is that there is no stable version but this message is identical to if the package doesn't exist at all.
The message could perhaps read something like: "Unable to find a stable version of xdebug/xdebug, try installing a specific version."

Dang, I'd addressed this previously to output the message from the Composer resolution before (in #53) but I think that change may have been lost in #83. Thanks for bringing this up, will fix this ASAP, as I agree it's not very clear!

Turns out, the changes were still there; this is an edge case where there is no versions for the stability, so Composer doesn't really have much to say regarding dependency resolution; that said, I've improved the messaging by writing out the stability determine in #124 , which will hopefully guide users to understanding the issue better :)
