WordPress 6.8.1 version not found

[erred74]

I am attempting to update to WordPres 6.8.1 but package keeps giving me the following error:
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
It appears that the latest version available is 6.7.1

we are using 8.4

Thanks for stopping by!

Using PHP 8.4 with the above composer.json manifest, I am able to install 6.8.1 as expected with no errors. Could you please post the full error output you're seeing? The message you provided tells me you're finding 6.8.1 just fine, but there's some other problem with your environment that's preventing Composer from resolving an installable set of packages. The rest of the error output should shed some light on the root cause.
