No .curlrc file exists

That’s far from the only item on that list.

It proceeds to tell you how to fix this.

vitorgalvao on 17 Mar 2020

I can reproduce the issue, and I'm fairly certain it would be fixed by https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/78796.

Seems like general problem with metasploit, searching for similar issues yields multiple related results.

Looks like they only host the latest ~8 downloads, maybe the cask could be updated somehow, so that the user is shown a message that this is a common error?

maybe the cask could be updated somehow, so that the user is shown a message that this is a common error?

This is a common issue in general and caused by upstream. Following our documentation on reporting bugs leads one to the solution pretty fast, so we’re not going to add more messaging to the cask. The solution is to not skip but follow the instructions we already give.

Closing in favour of the PR, which I’m fixing now.
