Homebrew-cask: What does (!) next to a cask mean?

[thibmaek]

I used brew cask list and noticed that one cask (infinit) had an exclamation mark next to it: (!)
Does this have any particular meaning? --help did not make me any wiser :(

[vitorgalvao]

It means the cask no longer exists. You installed it when it did. Search for it now, and it won’t find it.

Nice terminal color scheme @thibmaek ! get where? :)

[thibmaek]

@michahell It's Toy Chest :)

How can a cask with a (!) be uninstalled at this point?

[miccal]

@fpedroza use brew cask uninstall --force.

That doesn't work for me, miccal.

$ brew cask uninstall --force send-to-kindle
==> Running uninstall process for send-to-kindle; your password may be necessary
==> Removing launchctl service com.amazon.sendtokindle.launcher
==> Removing files from pkgutil Bill-of-Materials
==> chmod: Unable to change file mode on /usr/libexec/cups: Operation not permitted

@karstenwolniak that seems like it is more of an issue with the cask than with cask though.

This error was why send-to-kindle was removed - you will have to remove it manually.
