When trying to create a new Laravel project, the Laravel installer throws the following error:
Could not scan for classes inside "/home/aes256/test/vendor/sebastian/code-unit-reverse-lookup/src/" which does not appear to be a file nor a folder
> pre-package-uninstall: IlluminateFoundationComposerScripts::prePackageUninstall
Script IlluminateFoundationComposerScripts::prePackageUninstall handling the pre-package-uninstall event terminated with an exception
In ComposerScripts.php line 66:
[ErrorException]

Re-running the Laravel installer with verbose mode shows the following additional info:
Executing async command (CWD): 'rm' '-rf' '/home/aes256/test/vendor/sebastian/code-unit-reverse-lookup'

Is it something to be concerned about?
Tried a different Linux machine with fresh PHP + Composer install, same error.
edit: trying to create new project using PHPUnit instead of Pest works fine.
