I’m trying to install a Composer package on Travis CI. In my .travis.yml file I have the following two commands:

```auto
composer clear-cache
composer install

```

Here’s the output of those commands:

```auto
$ composer clear-cache
Cache directory does not exist (cache-vcs-dir): 
Clearing cache (cache-repo-dir): /home/travis/.cache/composer/repo
Clearing cache (cache-files-dir): /home/travis/.cache/composer/files
Clearing cache (cache-dir): /home/travis/.cache/composer
All caches cleared.
The command "composer clear-cache" exited with 0.
71.10s$ composer install

  - Installing phpseclib/phpseclib (3.0.x-dev 844d7ab): Cloning 844d7ab539 from cache

```

Here’s my composer.json:

```auto
{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/terrafrost/phpseclib"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "phpseclib/phpseclib": "3.0.x-dev"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

```

I have some additional commits in my fork of phpseclib that aren’t in the 3.0 branch of [https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib](https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib) but Travis CI’s Composer install keeps on installing from the latest commit in the 3.0 branch of [https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib](https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib) and not the one in my fork ([https://github.com/terrafrost/phpseclib](https://github.com/terrafrost/phpseclib)). Any ideas?
