This might be related to a recent change https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/7109. I'm not a Homebrew expert, and don't know how to fix it (sounds like you need to add a version to the formula, or tag the repo).

Thanks! I've added a version attribute.

By the way I am now mostly working of my own homebrew fork because upstream homebrew no longer supports macos 10.11 (which is what CRAN uses). And also their formulae were changing/breaking too frequently for me to keep up with.

I hope to merge that repository back with this one at some point.
