Composer crashes

Question

When I run composer update I get this error:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to Symfony\Component\Console\Question\Question::__construct() must be of the type string, array given, called in /usr/share/php/Composer/IO/ConsoleIO.php on line 239 and defined in /usr/share/php/Symfony/Component/Console/Question/Question.php:37

But not on all my projects.

On the project that fails I got following requirements in the composer.json file.

"require": {
    "php": "^5.6 || ^7.0",
    "ext-gd": "*",
    "ext-intl": "*",
    "zendframework/zend-component-installer": "^1.0 || ^0.3 || ^1.0.0-dev@dev",
    "zendframework/zend-mvc": "^3.1",
    "zfcampus/zf-development-mode": "^3.0",
    "zendframework/zend-mvc-form": "^1.0",
    "zendframework/zend-mvc-plugins": "^1.0.1",
    "zendframework/zend-session": "^2.7.1",
    "zendframework/zend-authentication": "^2.5",
    "doctrine/doctrine-orm-module": "^1.1.5",
    "doctrine/migrations": "^1.5",
    "zendframework/zend-math": "^3.0",
    "zendframework/zend-crypt": "^3.1",
    "zendframework/zend-captcha": "^2.6",
    "zendframework/zend-mail": "^2.10",
    "zendframework/zend-mime": "^2.7",
    "symfony/polyfill-iconv": "^1.13"
},

How can I update/install my website?

PHP 7.3.12-1
Composer 1.9.1 2019-11-01 17:20:17

https://github.com/zendframework/zend-expressive-skeleton/issues/243 looks like the same issue and may have useful info. — ceejayoz, Jan 09 '20 at 02:35

Thank you ceejayoz for your hint.

I used an old version of zendframework/zend-component-installer

I changed to "zendframework/zend-component-installer": "^2.1.2", then I updated the composer: composer update zendframework/zend-component-installer and then finally I was able to update everything: composer update.
