Why can't I remove abandoned packages with composer in Magento 2.4.7-P3?

[Alldo Group]

When I run the command "composer update" in Magento 2.4.7-P3 the following packages seems to be abandoned:

Package laminas/laminas-config is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.
Package laminas/laminas-crypt is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.
Package laminas/laminas-file is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.
Package laminas/laminas-json is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.
Package laminas/laminas-loader is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.
Package laminas/laminas-mail is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use symfony/mailer instead.
Package laminas/laminas-math is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.
Package laminas/laminas-mime is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use symfony/mime instead.
Package laminas/laminas-oauth is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.
Package laminas/laminas-text is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.
Package sebastian/phpcpd is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.

When I tro to remove them with the following command:

composer remove laminas/laminas-config

This is what's shown on the screen:

laminas/laminas-config is not required in your composer.json and has not been removed
./composer.json has been updated
Running composer update laminas/laminas-config
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies
Nothing to modify in lock file
Writing lock file
Installing dependencies from lock file (including require-dev)
Nothing to install, update or remove

What's all this about?
Thanks,

Hello @Alldo Group 

The message you're seeing indicates that laminas/laminas-config is not listed as a direct dependency in your composer.json

Check if It’s a Transitive Dependency

You can check if it's required by another package by running:

composer show laminas/laminas-config 

Remove the Dependent Package

If the package that requires laminas/laminas-config is something you no longer need, you can remove that package first. For example, if laminas/laminas-config is a dependency of a package such as laminas/laminas-xxx, you can remove the package that depends on it by running:

composer remove laminas/laminas-xxx

After removing the dependent package, you can try removing laminas/laminas-config again.

composer remove laminas/laminas-config

​Hope it helps !
