What were you trying to do (and why)?

I want to use the binaries from e2fsprogs. The installation does not report any errors. But the binaries are not sum-linked into /opt/homebrew/sbin or /opt/homebrew/bin The folder e2fsprogs is symlinked. Is this expected or is this an issue.

My steps: /Users/thomas> mkfs.ext2 zsh: command not found: mkfs.ext2

/Users/thomas> ls -la /opt/homebrew/opt/e2fsprogs
lrwxr-xr-x 1 thomas admin 26 12 Aug 15:50 /opt/homebrew/opt/e2fsprogs -> ../Cellar/e2fsprogs/1.47.1

/Users/thomas> ls -la /opt/homebrew/opt/e2fsprogs/sbin/mkfs.ext2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 thomas admin 174368 12 Aug 15:50 /opt/homebrew/opt/e2fsprogs/sbin/mkfs.ext2

What happened (include all command output)?

/Users/thomas> mkfs.ext2 -h zsh: command not found: mkfs.ext2

What did you expect to happen?

mkfs.ext2 has a symbolic link in /opt/homebrew/sbin/

Right, thanks.

e2fsprogs is keg-only, so it's not linked into HOMEBREW_PREFIX by default. You should have seen this message when you did brew install e2fsprogs:

❯ brew install e2fsprogs
[snip]
==> Caveats
e2fsprogs is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /opt/homebrew,
because macOS provides similar software and installing this software in
parallel can cause all kinds of trouble.

If you need to have e2fsprogs first in your PATH, run:
  echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/e2fsprogs/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
  echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/e2fsprogs/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

For compilers to find e2fsprogs you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/e2fsprogs/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/e2fsprogs/include"

For pkg-config to find e2fsprogs you may need to set:
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/e2fsprogs/lib/pkgconfig"
==> Summary
☕  /opt/homebrew/Cellar/e2fsprogs/1.47.1: 148 files, 8.3MB
==> Running `brew cleanup e2fsprogs`...
Disable this behaviour by setting HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP.
Hide these hints with HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS (see `man brew`).
