a temporary fix is to go onto GitHub and change the base branch manually to be main. Only do this after you landed the dependent PR's. Then spr land works.

building from source completely removes this problem. So removing the latest version from homebrew(1.3.4) and building from scratch (1.3.5-beta.1) is the way to go.
