Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires wp-cli/i18n-command dev-main#v2.6.6 -> satisfiable by wp-cli/i18n-command[dev-main].
    - wp-cli/i18n-command dev-main requires wp-cli/wp-cli ^2.13 -> found wp-cli/wp-cli[2.12.0] but it does not match the constraint. See https://getcomposer.org/dep-on-root for details and assistance.
Running update with --no-dev does not mean require-dev is ignored, it just means the packages will not be installed. If dev requirements are blocking the update you have to resolve those problems.
