Script fails when installing openssh on High Sierra due to sbin folder missing

InfiniteLoop90 commented 5 years ago

When I ran this on macOS High Sierra (MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)) I got the following error when it was installing openssh:

==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/openssh-7.8p1.high_sierra.bottle.tar.gz
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> Pouring openssh-7.8p1.high_sierra.bottle.tar.gz
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink sbin/sshd
/usr/local/sbin is not writable.

You can try again using:
  brew link openssh

Per this comment it looks like Apple stopped creating the /usr/local/sbin by default. Would it make sense to, as part of this script, create that directory first if it doesn't exist?

I think this should rather be filed with https://github.com/Homebrew/brew

I’ll open an issue for Homebrew instead. Thanks!
