I tried rebuilding all necessary packages, but gave up when it turned out
that symfony had to be rebuilt too and it has lots of missing dependancies
in wheezy (even with backports)

This could be solved by installing the file manually in override_dh_install
(cp debian/composer.sh debian/composer/usr/bin/composer) and removing it
from debian/composer.install (and possibly other files)

I've built the package on my box with obs tools, and composer.phar was off
by one byte. After some investigation it seems that something is adding a
newline (0a) character at the end of the packaged composer.phar file:

$ md5sum composer.phar
261fd5bf293a2e1ff1d7ba9db9dd388a  composer.phar
$ head -c 1029319 composer.phar > composer.phar.fixed
$ md5sum composer.phar.*
4678f9f648f2fb2348097ebf4bbde229  composer.phar.fixed
4678f9f648f2fb2348097ebf4bbde229  composer.phar.orig

It seems that this happens somewhere early in the packaging process,
presumably when doing some OBS magic. I inserted the above head hack to
debian.rules in my branch
https://obs.kolabsys.com/package/show/home:matik:branches:home:timotheus:branches:Kolab:Development/composer
, after this the installed composer seems to run OK.

Hope this will be of some help.

Regards,


Mateusz.
