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

  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires dependency/one dev-main -> satisfiable by dependency/one[dev-main].
    - dependency/one dev-main requires dependency/two dev-main -> found dependency/two[dev-main, dev-master (alias of dev-main)] but it does not match your minimum-stability.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.
