Linuxbrew-core: Could not install any formulae with patchelf dependency

[dvdantunes]

• [x] ran brew update and can still reproduce the problem?
• [x] ran brew doctor, fixed all issues and can still reproduce the problem?
• [x] ran brew gist-logs <formula> (where <formula> is the name of the formula that failed) and included the output link?
• [ ] if brew gist-logs didn't work: ran brew config and brew doctor and included their output with your issue?

What you were trying to do (and why)

I'm trying to install any formula and it fails. Even I uninstalled homebrew, deleted cache and reinstalled it and the issue still persists

What happened (include command output)

I just recently (2020-08-30 20:00 UTC+0) updated homebrew on my machine (brew update && brew upgrade) and then I tried to install any formulae (e.g: brew install yq) that has patchelf as dependency. Then it fails with the following output:

What you expected to happen

I expect that any formulae that has patchelf dependency could work

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew install commands)

1. brew update && brew upgrade
2. brew install yq
3. Installation aborts due the patchelf dependency error
