Brew: Link to Brew Troubleshooting not working

Created on 22 Oct 2017  路  5Comments  路  Source: Homebrew/brew
  • [X] 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
  • [X] Ran brew update and retried your prior step?
  • [X] Ran brew doctor, fixed all issues and retried your prior step?
  • [X] 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    I was attempting to run brew outdated to see which packages are out of date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  • I ran brew update twice, without error, then ran brew outdated, saw a bunch of errors (see output below).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 I can now run brew outdated without errors.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.
