Brew: Error: Invalid formula: internetarchive.rb: cannot load such file -- utils/json

If Homebrew was updated on Aug 10-11th 2016 and brew update always says Already up-to-date. you need to run: cd "$(brew --repo)" && git fetch && git reset --hard origin/master && brew update.

Please follow the general troubleshooting steps first:

• [ ] Ran brew update and retried your prior step?
• [ ] 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)?

I can confirm this bug. I'll try to fix it up this weekend. Sorry for the gaff.

Awesome. The merged stuff works like charm. :tada:

IMHO this issue can be closed now.
