Installing mkvtoolnix cask with pre-existing mkvtoolnix formulae as a dependency

Verification

[X] I understand that if I ignore these instructions, my issue may be closed without review.
[X] I have retried my command with --force.
[X] I ran brew update-reset && brew update and retried my command.
[X] I ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried my command.
[X] I have checked the instructions for reporting bugs.
[X] I made doubly sure this is not a checksum does not match / SHA256 mismatch error (do not open an issue before trying to open a PR to fix first).

Description of issue

I am not allowed to install the cask. There is a single conflict between mkvtoolnix cask and mkvtoolnix 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

Cask also install binaries and so you may need cask only not formula.

101Dude commented 1 month ago

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.

daeho-ro commented 1 month ago

I got it. There should be something like --no-manuals or custom cask. Hm...

101Dude commented 1 month ago

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

101Dude commented 1 month ago

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.

yunhao-jiang commented 4 weeks ago

Just curious is it just me or is this app unsigned? It's keep giving me this while I try to open it. How does this app escapes from the brew audit which checks the signature? screenshot

101Dude commented 4 weeks ago

It is unsigned. You will have to go to Security and allow it or you can use the --no-quarantine flag:

brew install --no-quarantine appname

In general if you have an issue you should create one OR ask in discussions.... not piggyback your question on someone else's issue. Especially since it has nothing to do with my issue. :)

yunhao-jiang commented 4 weeks ago

Yeah I'm trying to solve your issue but it seems this app violates the Acceptable Casks.

101Dude commented 4 weeks ago

Oh, thank you. You make a good point... I had no idea that was even a thing.

May be it get's special consideration? It does say that it conflicts with mkvtoolnix formulae in the .rb.

github-actions[bot] commented 1 week ago

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.

101Dude commented 6 days ago

This means that none of the cask flags are designed to do what we expected?
