@richhyde Any luck?

richhyde commented 6 years ago

Something is still broken, but I got past this one by deleting a bunch of stuff. Is there a way to reset an install? I keep running into locks left around, I think apple screwed me when I migrated some stuff, or something got really confused. I am grasping for straws as to how it happened. At this point I just want to reset all that I can to be functional, otherwise it seems I am deleting too many internal files to get anything to build.

@richhyde You can use brew bundle dump to dump all your installed packages to a Brewfile, the uninstall from https://github.com/Homebrew/install to remove everything, the install from https://github.com/Homebrew/install to install Homebrew and brew bundle to reinstall your packages.
