Hi there! I have a Laravel 4.2 -based application and today I tried to update it (I wanted to add a new package) using the composer and it failed with the following error:

...
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - illuminate/hashing v5.2.25 requires illuminate/contracts 5.3.* -> no mat                       ching package found.

Potential causes:
 - A typo in the package name
 - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
   see <https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#minimum-stability> for more details.

I can see that hashing package v5.2.25 requires illuminate/contracts 5.3.* ! Actually, it is the only version of this package that requires contracts 5.3. Is this a type error? Can I override this?
