Help upgrading to L8.

Can someone help me troubleshoot my upgrade:

Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Conclusion: don't install laravel/framework v8.21.0
    - Conclusion: don't install laravel/framework v8.20.1

etc

    - Installation request for dyrynda/laravel-efficient-uuid 4.3.0 -> satisfiable by dyrynda/laravel-efficient-uuid[4.3.0].
    - Conclusion: don't install laravel/framework v8.0.1

etc

 laravel/passport 9.x-dev requires illuminate/support ^6.18.31|^7.22.4 -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[v7.29.3, 7.x-dev, 6.x-dev], illuminate/supp

I don't really understand what the problem is?

What do I need to learn to master this?

Cheers,

Mick

Yeah, read that and updated my composer.json before running the update.

My problem is that I don't understand the debug from the update.

I removed all my dependencies except the ones Laravel needs to be updated then ran the update. When it was successful I added them back one by one.

It's worth a try at least just be sure to have a backup.
