How to relink cask packages after accidentally upgrading them outside of Homebrew? #234

Sometimes, when updating software within the application itself, it is easy to accidentally click on the update button. However, the next time you use Homebrew to manage the software, these cask packages may not be recognized as already installed.

Practically it's not possible. The only way is reinstalling (brew reinstall --cask <cask>) the cask manually or use the tool to reinstall it when the update is available via brew.

Hey @jochne , I meant using brew cu (this repo) to use it to upgrade. So even though it will "just" reinstall the same version, that's practically the only way of fixing it.
