@skyfaller I would guess that their server is under a bit of load and suggest you wait a little while. It is working for me, but as you said it was quite slow:
-bash-5.0.17- /Users/miccal (32) [> brew cask fetch inkscape
==> Downloading external files for Cask inkscape
==> Downloading https://media.inkscape.org/dl/resources/file/Inkscape-1.0.0.dmg
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> Verifying SHA-256 checksum for Cask 'inkscape'.
==> Success! Downloaded to -> /Users/miccal/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/eaf062785fa5c85e3db153144c60f92970f9db
OK, I tried it again just now, and Inkscape downloaded very quickly and installed fine. I think you were correct that their server was just getting hammered.
That said, is it really right for homebrew cask install
to just silently do nothing for 5-10 minutes? Shouldn't it throw an error or something eventually? Or at least put something in the debug output? My problem installing Inkscape is gone for now, but I think similar situations could be handled better in the future.
@skyfaller a curl
request is re-tried three times, which when there is a problem can take some time to finish.
General troubleshooting steps
--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
When attempting to install the latest 1.0.0 release of Inkscape, the command hangs indefinitely, with no error and no internet traffic indicating that my computer is downloading anything. I waited more than 5 minutes with no sign of activity.
FWIW, I went to their website and tried downloading it manually, and while the download is slow (~200 kb/s), both the download and their website seem to be working, so I don't think it's that their server has died under the load of everyone wanting to upgrade/install.
I tried upgrading from the previous version of Inkscape, with no joy, so I ran
brew cask uninstall inkscape
and thenbrew cask install inkscape
, which got me to the current state of affairs.Command that failed
