Load composer package from private gitlab - json

Question

In my composer setup I load packages from 2 repos. One composer repo and a private gitlab repo. When I try to do a composer install on my local windows machine, I get the following error messages:
GitLab: The project you were looking for could not be found. fatal:
Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the
correct access rights and the repository exists. ... The requested
package sv-test/testextension could not be found in any version, there
may be a typo in the package name.
Authentification is done via lokal ssh-key and password, that doesnt seem to be the problem. Whats wrong with my setup?
The composer.json of the project looks like this:
{
"repositories": [
{
"type": "composer",
"url": "https://composer.typo3.org/"
},
{
"type": "git",
"url": "git#gitlab.xydevbox.de:sv-test/Testproject.git"
}
],
"name": "svdev/master-dev-box",
"description": "",
"type": "project",
"license": "MIT",
"homepage": "https://www.xydevbox.de/",
"authors": [
{
"name": "Sacha Vorbeck",
"email": "sacha.vorbeck#xydevbox.de",
"homepage": "https://www.xydevbox.de/",
"role": "Developer"
}
],
"require": {
"sv-testbox/testextension": "*",
"helhum/typo3-console": "^4.5",
"typo3/cms": "^8.7"
},
"config": {
"sort-packages": true,
"process-timeout": 2000,
"preferred-install": {
"typo3/cms": "source",
"*": "dist"
}
},
"extra": {
"typo3/cms": {
"cms-package-dir": "{$vendor-dir}/typo3/cms",
"web-dir": "web"
}
}
}
The composer.json from the package to be included from the gitlab private repo looks like this:
{
"name": "sv-testbox/testextension",
"type": "typo3-cms-extension",
"description": "",
"homepage": "https://www.xydevbox.de/",
"license": ["GPL-2.0+"],
"keywords": ["TYPO3 CMS"],
"version": "master",
"dist": {
"url": "git#gitlab.xydevbox.de:sv-test/Testproject.git",
"type": "git"
}
}

Thank you Georg and NextThursday. With some help on TYPO3 slack I finally got it running. The replace part was missing. I also learned that one should not edit composer.json files manually - always use the command line options to modify it. This example: https://github.com/TYPO3-Console/TYPO3-Console/blob/master/composer.json was also helpful.
project composer.json:
{
"repositories": [
{
"type": "composer",
"url": "https://composer.typo3.org/"
},
{
"type": "vcs",
"url": "https://github.com/svorbeck/masterconfig"
}
],
"name": "svorbeck/demo",
"description": "",

"require": {
"svorbeck/masterconfig": "dev-master",
"typo3/cms": "^8.7"
},
"config": {
"sort-packages": true,

"web-dir": "web"
},
"helhum/typo3-console": {
"install-extension-dummy": "0"
}
}
}
ext composer.json:
