Thank you for bringing this to my attention!
I was able to reproduce this issue after running brew untap homebrew/core
, which surprisingly doesn't break any of my Homebrew packages (I have no clue when this change was made or where the Formula are being read from without the tap). Regardless, it does seem that a simple special case for core
will resolve this issue. I'm going to quickly check that no other taps behave like this (mainly homebrew/cask
) and then I'll write and push a fix.
@ian-h-chamberlain this should all be resolved now, but I'd appreciate it if you could confirm. Run brew update
(and brew untap homebrew/core
if necessary) and let me know if the issue persists.
Thanks for the quick turnaround! Looks like it's working for me too.
brew add
appears to always add thecore
tap, which I guess is deprecated now?Maybe the
core
tap could be special-cased to avoid being added, since it will cause subsequent installs from that file to fail without--force
.
