WordPress 6.0 update deploy failed

The roots/wordpress package starting with 6.0 should already omit the themes:

With the release of WordPress 6.0 roots/wordpress will change to serve only WordPress–no themes.

The roots/wordpress-no-content package is indeed just a bare-bones composer package that downloads the no-content WordPress ZIP from WordPress. It doesn’t install on its own on a Bedrock site, the roots/wordpress-core-installer package is also required for actually installing the raw files.
You could require the roots/wordpress-no-content and roots/wordpress-core-installer packages yourself in a Bedrock site, but this isn’t necessary as this is already handled by the roots/wordpress meta-package: The roots/wordpress package since version 6.0 indeed requires both, the roots/wordpress-no-content package and the roots/wordpress-core-installer package:

github.com

roots/wordpress/blob/6.0/composer.json

{
    "name": "roots/wordpress",
    "description": "WordPress is open source software you can use to create a beautiful website, blog, or app.",
    "type": "metapackage",
    "require": {
        "roots/wordpress-core-installer": "^1.0.0",
        "roots/wordpress-no-content": "self.version"
    }
}

So for a WordPress core without the default themes and plugins (e.g. “Hello Dolly”), just use the roots/wordpress package starting with 6.0.
