Even having figured out that
shasum
is a shell command, I still don't know what "Actual
shasum line" means.
Example of an error message:
Error: Checksum for Cask 'magicavoxel' does not match.

And it's not until page three of Google results for "appcast" that I found a page relating to the Sparkle framework (which I was familiar with, but others may not be).
You donāt need to know what an appcast is, or search online. You needed only to run the suggested command.
Iāve simplified the instructions to the easiest ones: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/62073/files.
I just started to file a bug about a cask that won't upgrade. It turns out the issue is that Logitech hasn't bothered to produce a version of Logitech Unifying that officially supports Mojave, even six months after it's release. So it looks like Homebrew is behaving as expected when it won't install.
Having gone through the troubleshooting checklist, I really think someone should re-write this page from the point of view of a user with a lot less knowledge. Even having figured out that
shasum
is a shell command, I still don't know what "Actual
shasum line" means. And it's not until page three of Google results for "appcast" that I found a page relating to the Sparkle framework (which I was familiar with, but others may not be).I realize you're trying to filter out unnecessary issues, but I think you may be forcing people to figure out a little too much here, and you're very insistent that they do this step.
