you seemed to join a WiiU Homebrew discord for help, but imma still try to help you with your issue.
Does brew install boost#1.79 work for you?
If it still returns the same Issue, please try following things:
brew update after that, try installing boost again.
(Only do if #1 didnt work) brew update-reset
after that try installing boost again.
[Note: this will destroy all your uncommitted or committed changes in any Homebrew repository]
(do this if the other 2 failed) git -C $(brew --repo homebrew/core) checkout -- Formula/boost.rb followed by trying to install boost again.
Hope this helps
Apparently rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core; brew update fixed it!

My MacBook Air was equipped with macOS Mojave Version 10.14.6.

This problem has bothered me for a long while...
Eventually, I solved this problem by running the following code:
brew update-reset
brew install wget
I hoped this may help others.
Problem could be 'Homebrew/homebrew-core not tapped properly'. Executing these two commands resolved the issue for me.
rm -rf "/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core"
brew tap homebrew/core
