That's because we require you to fix these before you submit an issue.
My issue is only to advise that the help messages shown on running commands about changing permissions do cover all of the things that need changing.
We cannot cover and detect every possible case. In this case: yes, you need to fix the permissions of more files and directories. sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/* should get you sorted in this case but: closing as it's an issue with your machine and not Homebrew.

My issue is only to advise that the help messages shown on running commands about changing permissions do cover all of the things that need changing. At the moment, only one help advice is shown which covers only some of the permissions changes necessary, it would appear.
For
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/var/homebrewto cover all necessary permissions changes, as shown in the help output. If it doesn't, then please update this help text output to say what other things need permissions changes to the user to own them for the command to run successfully.Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running
