This ticket has not had a response from a developer; there is no reason for a stale bot to clean it up.

@jodygarnett Facing the same issue, any update or workaround?

[jodygarnett]

No response so far, I think I was focused on troubleshooting a geosever configuration and had to switch over to a linux docker image.

Looks to be related to https://github.com/OSGeo/homebrew-osgeo4mac/issues/1410

I expect brew changed something and these bottles need to be updated

Looking up for other examples of the error message and I found https://github.com/Homebrew/discussions/discussions/2429

The syntax of the formula you're trying to install is too old to work with the installed version of brew. You can remove the bottle do block and see if you get any further.

So yeah this issue has been reported for a number of years with no action; I would consider this project inactive.

Well that's disappointing....
