cask-repair fails to find cask ip-scanner

[ralphrmartin]

cask-repair is rather oddly reporting that a cask is not in any repo, when it seems to be:

ralph@ralph ~ $ brew cask info ip-scanner                                          
ip-scanner: 3.83

ralph@ralph ~ $ cask-repair ip-scanner           
Already up-to-date.

No such cask was found in any official repo (ip-scanner).

yet the cask is found when trying a reinstall

brew cask reinstall ip-scanner

$ brew cask info ip-scanner
Error: Cask 'ip-scanner' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists. Did you mean “angry-ip-scanner”?

$ brew search ip-scanner

angry-ip-scanner

cask-repair is correct. You must have gotten it from another repo or it was deleted/renamed in the official repos.

Ah, I see. Thank you. I think I it must have been renamed as I don't remember getting it from elsewhere.

Clearly this is not cask-repair's fault - but maybe the cask system itself needs to consider reinstalling casks whose names change, to avoid confusion? Do you think this is worth raising as an issue there?

[ralphrmartin]

Please ignore the previous remark. ip-scanner is not the same as angry-ip-scanner. Perhaps it was deleted.

It should. We want it but don’t yet have it. PRs welcome.
