Description

Today I run a composer update command on my existing install.
Composer.lock was updated, with wp moving from 7.1.0 to 7.1.1.
When trying to access the website, I noticed that the directory wordpress/wp-includes was gone!

Not sure if it is related, but the minimum php version for package johnpbloch/wordpress-core in composer.lock was downgraded from 7.4 to 5.3.2.

Was there a packaging error in producing the johnpbloch/wordpress-core tarball for 7.1.1?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the composer update from WordPress 7.1.0 to 7.1.1 and inspect the generated composer.lock plus the johnpbloch/wordpress-core 7.1.1 package or tarball. Done means the upgraded install contains wordpress/wp-includes and the package metadata has the expected PHP requirement.
