The latest n98-magerun version with resolvable dependencies is 1.29.0.
Do you have a trick to have the dependency on a later version work?

Potential causes:

 - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
   see <https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#minimum-stability> for more details.

The goal is to use composer global require n98/magerun, then it does not need to move the bin or do other manipulations by hand/non-standard.
Even I set "minimum-stability": "dev" in the composer.json, I still get similar negative result.

Closing comment (2016-03-31T13:19:08Z): You can use magerun only as a root package. So you can't require it (?). Please follow the standard installation instructions to install it and please see the duplicate ticket for more in depth-information on the case.
/Edit: works now.
