_This isn’t exactly about [roots.io](http://roots.io), but I’m hoping someone could shed some light, as [dependabot](https://dependabot.com/) appears widely used with bedrock._

Dependabot fails to find latest versions of wpackagist plugins - a piece of a log:

```

The [first link there](https://wpackagist.org/p/wpackagist-plugin/simple-history%247a846f99859bb97aca1e2ecfd68a2dd41136bf59fb28ae0d74e005cf84e43db3.json) looks good to me, but then there’s [one that’s not good](https://wpackagist.org/p/wpackagist-plugin/simple-history.json), and a line that says…:

> updater | INFO \<job\_49149746\> Latest version is

… and finally the conclusion that update’s not possible.

That’s an example with just one plugin (which I first manually downgraded for testing purposes); however, all plugins from wpackagist similarly have no value where it says "Latest version is ".

I’ve initially run `composer require wpackagist-plugin/simple-history` and composer.json has lines such as: `"wpackagist-plugin/simple-history": "^2.36,"`

Any thoughts? What could be wrong?

Ps. Some parts of the log look OK so things aren’t completely off, for instance:

```

I got [Renovate](https://renovate.whitesourcesoftware.com/) going, instead.

Renovate is also nice because it can be used opensource with a private GitLab server.
