Can't install with Composer (1.10.20 or 2.0.11)

[scibuff]

PHP: 7.4.11 Composer: 2.0.11 (tried already 1.10.20 originally)

I'm trying to install wordpress via composer with the simplest setup possible

{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "composer",
      "url": "https://wpackagist.org"
    }
  ],
  "require": {
    "johnpbloch/wordpress": "^5.6"
  }
}

But I'm getting the follow error

Loading composer repositories with package information

I can navigate to the folder and I see that file there

p.s I have no problem installing other packages via composer (e.g. Laravel)

Any ideas?

got the exact same problem. Did you find a soluce ?

I had no problem installing via Composer 2.2.9.

My environment: I am using WSL2 on Windows 11 Pro and Docker for Desktop to run my projects in containers. I use Git for Windows which provides Git Bash terminal which I set as my default in VSCode. Composer itself is installed using the MSI installer which offered me the experimental install option to automate Chocolately setup, if I remember right.
