Package: composer
Version: 2.6.6-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
When using the command `composer upgrade`, composer displays a warning
> Composer is operating significantly slower than normal because you
> do not have the PHP curl extension enabled.
When the package 'php-curl' is installed, no warning appears with that
command. I would have expected that php-curl is listed as a Recommends-
dependency when composer is slowed down otherwise.
A detailed report follows (some output removed and replaced by '[...]').
* What led up to the situation?
I created a minimal test for this bug as follows:
$ echo "today is: $(date)"
today is: Mon 22 Jan 10:37:33 CET 2024
$ docker container run -ti --rm debian:sid
root@c16e8b892f02:/# apt update
[...]
root@c16e8b892f02:/# apt install --install-recommends --yes composer
[...]
root@c16e8b892f02:/# mkdir /project
root@c16e8b892f02:/project# cd /project
root@c16e8b892f02:/project# composer require slim/slim
[...]
Now using the command `composer upgrade` gives out the warning:
root@c16e8b892f02:/project# composer upgrade
Composer is operating significantly slower than normal because you do not
have the PHP curl extension enabled.
[...]
However, when installing php-curl, the warning is no longer there:
root@c16e8b892f02:/project# apt install --yes php-curl
[...]
root@c16e8b892f02:/project# composer upgrade
[..no warning..]
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Installing the package 'php-curl' made the warning go away.
Hoever, compose works fine without 'php-curl' being installed.
Note: The actual speed-effect was not meassured.
* What did you expect instead?
I would have expected, that composer would have a 'Recommends:'
dependency on any package that is not strictly necessary but is warned
about.
