Tim van Dijen reported this issue:

On EB v6.7.2:

$ composer install --no-dev  
Creating the "app/config/functional_testing.yml" file
> Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\Composer\ScriptHandler::clearCache

In Process.php line 143:

  [TypeError]
  Argument 1 passed to Symfony\Component\Process\Process::__construct() must be of
  the type array, string given, called in /home/saml/openconext-engineblock/vendor/
  sensio/distribution-bundle/Composer/ScriptHandler.php on line 291

Using composer 1 to install the dependencies seemed to solve the issue.

Suggestion: migrate the lockfile to be composer 2 compatible (given composer 1 is EOL)

Additional information (in Dutch):

Het is een raar probleem, want op een andere omgeving werkte het wel met composer v2
Composer v2.2.18 werkt, maar v2.4.2 werkt niet

Start by reproducing the dependency installation with Composer 2.4.2 and compare it with Composer 2.2.18 and Composer 1. Inspect the Composer lockfile and the reported Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\Composer\ScriptHandler.php failure. Done means dependencies install successfully with the supported Composer 2 version without the Process.php TypeError.
