Describe the bug
Errors occur when updating to the latest version of Bookstack (21.08.4); I used the following commands:

sudo git pull origin release && composer install --no-dev && php artisan migrate
sudo php artisan bookstack:regenerate-comment-content
sudo php artisan cache:clear
sudo php artisan view:clear

a summary of what appeared is shown below:

Deprecation Notice: Required parameter $path follows optional parameter $schema in /usr/share/php/JsonSchema/Constraints/UndefinedConstraint.php:62
Deprecation Notice: Required parameter $path follows optional parameter $schema  in /usr/share/php/JsonSchema/Constraints/UndefinedConstraint.php:108

Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies from lock file
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught ArgumentCountError: array_merge() does not accept unknown named parameters in /usr/share/php/Composer/DependencyResolver/DefaultPolicy.php:84

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Update Bookstack using the commands shown above
Console shows errors
Log in to Bookstack produces the 'An error has occurred' page
Click on 'Return to home'
Use Bookstack; creating a new page throws an error page

Expected behavior
The update should throw no errors; you should be able to log in without seeing the error page and the app should work normally. As it stands, my instance is unusable

Your Configuration (please complete the following information):

Exact BookStack Version (Found in settings): 21.08.4
PHP Version: 8.0.3
Hosting Method (Nginx/Apache/Docker): Apache 2 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Hi @techauthoruk,
I have a feeling this would be due to an outdated composer version.
Could you run composer -V and confirm the output?

Hi Dan

Current composer version is 1.10.1 (2020-03-13)....so you were spot on! Just updated to 2.1.9 (from https://getcomposer.org/download/) and then re-ran the Bookstack update, and all seems fine. Composer -V is still showing 1.10.1 as the version but I haven't rebooted the server yet.

As an aside, I love having the IP address in the audit log - a really useful addition.

Thanks again Dan - I will close this now
