6 years ago Aha: looks like this might be a simple shell configuration problem:
Warning: Homebrew's sbin was not found in your PATH but you have installed
formulae that put executables in /usr/local/sbin.
Consider setting the PATH for example like so
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profileTry doing that.

6 years ago This works fine, but I thought homebrew is not supposed to install formula binaries at sbin?

6 years ago It is, actually. The issue I was referring to on discourse — what happened to me when I tried to install mosquitto — is that brew should ensure that the sbin directory exists first, probably creating it if necessary, and not error out due to a missing directory there. I had assumed that this was the problem for you too, but looking at this longer doctor output, it seems like your installation worked correctly, and you just need your $PATH configured.

6 years ago Note to self and other maintainers: it looks like my /usr/local/sbin directory disappeared during my upgrade to 10.12 or 10.13; it wasn't overlooked by the brew installer. Maybe should add a check for its existence into doctor; which currently intentionally ignores missing sbin dirs.

6 years ago I believe there is a dot file you can add to an empty dir to tell the macOS installer to back off. Perhaps we should add that to the install script for brew.

6 years ago Yeah that. Probably any file woks so that dir is non-empty but just a guess.
