I just run this command I didn't see any drupal/core-xxxx packages in the listing.

The disk was running out of space and saw the message in the admin that I didn't have enough space, ie 1024k to upgrade Drupal core and wonder if that was why the above command didn't upgrade Drupal core as well.

I upgraded it using composer require drupal/core-recommended:11.1.10 drupal/core-composer-scaffold:11.1.10 drupal/core-project-message:11.1.10 --update-with-all-dependencies

It was as far as I could go probably it was a Drupal CMS 1.0 installation.
