I am running into the following error when creating a new symfony project using the symfony/symfony package on composer:

No composer.lock file present. Updating dependencies to latest instead of installing from lock file. See https://getcomposer.org/install for more information.
Loading composer repositories with package information

In PathRepository.php line 163:
                                                                                     
  The 'url' supplied for the path (src/Symfony/Contracts) repository does not exist  
                                                                                     

I cannot appreciate the error message nor fix it. I have no clue where PathRepository.php is and changing versions of Contracts in composer.json is not helpful. Any ideas while this is failing out of the box? Without suggesting a different package or installer (like symfony-cli).

I ran composer create-project symfony.symfony starter-app-symfony and expected:
