Brew: `brew doctor` Not Recognizing the Results of `brew update`

Created on 26 Sep 2016  Â·  5Comments  Â·  Source: Homebrew/brew

Please follow the general troubleshooting steps first:

  • [x] Ran brew update and retried your prior step?
  • [x] Ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible, and retried your prior step?
  • [ ] If you're seeing permission errors tried running sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)? (N/A)

    Bug report:

When I run brew doctor -vd, its output includes the following:

â‹®
Checking check_for_outdated_homebrew

Warning: Your Homebrew is outdated.
You haven't updated for at least 24 hours. This is a long time in brewland!
To update Homebrew, run `brew update`.
â‹®

When I run _brew update -vd_, though, I eventually get _this_:

â‹®
Already up-to-date.
â‹®

What do you guys think is going on here, and how would I fix it? If you need any other diagnostic information to help troubleshoot this issue, I'll happily provide it.

I also had this issue.

Refer to issue #1151

1152 seems to fix that but when I do brew update it doesn't seem to pull the latest commits down. So I did a brew update --force and it went away.

Just being curious, when I do a brew update, where do I pull the new version of homebrew from?

@xinan

when I do brew update it doesn't seem to pull the latest commits down.

Non-developer users are now updated to tags, and locally you should see Homebrew on the "stable" branch. You need to wait for us to tag 1.0.5 before #1152 should take effect for you.

Will leave this open until #1152 lands.

@zmwangx Thanks!

Shipped in 1.0.5, thanks!
