  • Confirmed this is a problem with running a brew command and not brew installing or the post-install behaviour of one or more formulae? If it's a formulae-specific problem please file this issue at the relevant tap e.g. for Homebrew/homebrew-core https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/new
    Ran brew update and retried your prior step?
    Ran brew doctor, fixed all issues and retried your prior step?
    Ran brew config and brew doctor and included their output with your issue?

To help us debug your issue please explain:

  • What you were trying to do (and why):
    I was attempting to run brew outdated to see which packages are out of date
  • What happened (include command output)
    I received a package related error, but it told me to visit https://git.io/brew-troubleshooting. When visiting that page, it responds "No url found for brew-troubleshooting". See output below.
  • What you expected to happen
    I expected to see a page to tell me more about reporting the package related error
  • Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

Steps:

  • I ran brew update twice, without error, then ran brew outdated, saw a bunch of errors (see output below).
  • Tried the broken link.
  • Then ran brew doctor (see broken output below).
  • brew config worked successfully (output below).

If you run

brew update --force

what is the output of brew config afterwards?

Sorry for delayed response. This appears to have resolved my issues. I can now run brew outdated without errors.

Thank you for the help! Let me know if you need me to provide anything else.
