The documentation page you’re referring to already warns about it: “To use the ObjectNormalizer, the PropertyAccess component must also be installed.” > Of course the error goes away if I install the > php-symfony-property-access package. > > I see that php-symfony-property-access is a suggested package, but I was > wondering it if should be a dependency or a least a recommended > package. This is intended upstream, that only suggests symfony/property-info in their composer.json file. https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Component/Serializer/composer.json Composer documents suggest as follow: Suggested packages that can enhance or work well with this package. These are just informational and are displayed after the package is installed, to give your users a hint that they could add more packages, even though they are not strictly required. https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#suggest Debian documents suggests as follow: This is used to declare that one package may be more useful with one or more others. Using this field tells the packaging system and the user that the listed packages are related to this one and can perhaps enhance its usefulness, but that installing this one without them is perfectly reasonable. https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-binarydeps Both Composer and Debian interpretation of suggest seem to match well enough, so if you believe the relation is too weak, you should try to convince upstream about it. http://symfony.com/doc/current/contributing/code/bugs.html http://symfony.com/doc/current/contributing/code/patches.html Regards David
