Cask also install binaries and so you may need cask only not formula.
Thanks. Yes I am aware but there are other formulas that require the mkvtoolnix binaries and will install them because of dependencies.
This is why I use --no-binaries
flag when installing the cask. But that is not enough because of the man page.
I got it. There should be something like --no-manuals
or custom cask. Hm...

I thought the other flags would override but they have no effect. I had high hopes for --adopt
and --overwrite

Is there a way to modify homebrew-cask/Casks/m/mkvtoolnix.rb
locally to remove the manpage before installing? I've never done that before.
Verification
--force
.brew update-reset && brew update
and retried my command.brew doctor
, fixed as many issues as possible and retried my command.Description of issue
I am not allowed to install the cask. There is a single conflict between
mkvtoolnix
cask andmkvtoolnix
formulae. It seems that--adopt
--force
and--overwrite
are not doing what I expect them to do when it comes to duplicate files located at/usr/local/share/man/man1/
.the error:
Error: It seems there is already a Manpage at '/usr/local/share/man/man1/mkvextract.1'.
mkvtoolnix formulae are required for pre-installed formulae and I need the GUI of mkvtoolnix as well.
Are there brew commands that allow me to install both without conflict?
thank you
