If you don't need the update for bower-asset, you can require yidas/yii2-composer-bower-skip before yiisoft/yii2. in composer.json file:

"require": {
    "php": ">=5.4.0",
    "yidas/yii2-composer-bower-skip": "~2.0.0",
    "yiisoft/yii2": "~2.0.5",
    "yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap": "~2.0.0"
}

After that, you can update Composer smoothly without bower-asset.
