Potential causes:
 - A typo in the package name
 - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting

See https://github.com/RobinHerbots/jquery.inputmask/issues/2 the inputmask library is not longer available. From what I can tell it ‘was’ working due to github aliasing the package. Now the alias is released composer is failing to install.
