  • A spot of Homebrew

    Starting a few days ago, whenever I’d run a Homebrew update, the whole process would end with this warning message:

    I started out by trying to uninstall HandBrake in Homebrew before using the new package name (handbrake-app) to reinstall it.

    That didn’t work tho. The warning persisted.

    Then, I tried using the zap flag during the uninstall and running a cleanup before reinstalling it.

    No joy in Mudville! HandBrake had been fully uninstalled from my system… But its warning was still taunting me from beyond the grave.

    I was about to walk away from computers as a career, but then I remembered that the prune flag in brew cleanup exists:

    Running that, which clears Homebrew’s entire cache, and reinstalling HandBrake — making sure to use its new package name — fixed me right up.
