Thank you very much for your help,

You cannot install the latest version of Rector using SF2.8: it is too old and the dependencies will conflict.

The best approach you can try is to don't set a version for Rector:

composer req rector/rector

This command will use the version of Rector compatible with your current set of installed packages.

Obviously, you will not get the latest version of Rector, but you will be able to make easier the upgrade of SF.

Another approach is to require Rector in your composer.json without a version constraint:

"rector/rector": "*"

See README and Docker
or you can help with this issue #177

The first is fast solution, but you may have version conflicts. The latter is more solid solution, but requires work to finish

@Aerendir, thank you for your reply, I'll get back to you after my test.

Even better solution now - Rector prefixed: https://github.com/rectorphp/rector-prefixed
