I ran "brew doctor" and "brew update" and these error messages showed up:
"Error: Failed to update tap: caskroom/versions"
"Could not link caskroom/cask manpages to:
/usr/local/share/man/man1/brew-cask."
I don't know what it means and if I need to do anything about it.
I have no education in computer science. I use R, R Studio, and Sublime Text for writing code. I also played with Xcode to write an app. I honestly have no idea what Brew does or if I should even have it installed. I installed it because an undergrad computer science student was using it and recommended it.
Thanks for anyone who can provide any directions or advice.
try this,
brew untap caskroom/homebrew-cask
brew uninstall --force brew-cask
brew update
brew cleanup
brew cask cleanup
if it still gives an error

I did an brew upgrade and afterwards keep getting an bad address error.
Tried to uninstall/reinstall everything, but cant figure out what is the problem.
bash: /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/go: Bad address
Im new to terminal and linux, so all advice is welcome.
I tried brew doctor. It says "No developer tools installed." and after i 'brew install gcc' it says gcc is already installed and up-to-date.
Use the official Go installation:
Go: Download and install
For full support, avoid OS package managers, Homebrew, and so forth.
First, remove any previous installations by other methods, for example, Homebrew.
Little late, but this post was a suggestion for me when I ran into a similar issue with Go and Brew.
When Brew updates the version of Go (1.19.3 -> 1.19.5 in my case) that it is providing, for some reason it does not correctly update the GOROOT environment varaible. Correcting the value of the variable fixed the issue for me.
export GOROOT=/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/go/<go_version>/libexec
# example
export GOROOT=/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/go/1.19.5/libexec
When I try to run brew doctor I get the error message below with no other details.
brew doctor
Error: Cask 'caskroom' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists.
However I am able to run brew list and do not see any pkg named "caskroom". I also was able to run "update" and "upgrade" and they seemed to complete successfully.
Is there a "verbose" mode which would give me more information about where this error is occurring or is there a way I can manually remove this reference to "Cask 'caskroom'?
Homebrew suddenly stopped working, when i run any brew command i get following output:

Error: Failed to upgrade Homebrew Portable Ruby!
I already tried to remove the file portable-ruby-2.6.3_2.yosemite.bottle.tar.gz but it doesn't work and i couldn't find any helpful information about this error on Google.
Any help is appreciated.
There are several things that I can think of for your situation.
Your output has yosemite identifier, to be clear, MacOS Yosemite is actually 10.10.x, it is not in the current/latest homebrew support list, and also different from 10.14 Mojave in your problem title. So if you are actually using Mojave, you can keep your brew up to date and reinstall ruby.
The latest Ruby formula is actually 2.7.x, you might want to reinstall/upgrade (brew reinstall ruby/brew upgrade ruby).
In all, if you still run into an issue, please attach the outputs of brew config and brew doctor for troubleshooting.
Try brew update-reset and then try brew upgrade.
It's set portable-ruby-2.6.3_2.yosemite.bottle.tar.gz was already downloaded so I removed it and it went through henceforth.
I'm trying to install Homebrew on macOS. Once the installation finished, when I typed help I got:
Already downloaded: /.../Library/Caches/Homebrew/portable-ruby-2.6.3.mavericks.bottle.tar.gz
Error: Checksum mismatch.

To retry an incomplete download, remove the file above.
Error: Failed to install Homebrew Portable Ruby (and your system version is too old)!
I had the same question, and the solution is simple: remove the portable-ruby-2.6.3.mavericks.bottle.tar.gz you downloaded before.
rm /.../Library/Caches/Homebrew/portable-ruby-2.6.3.mavericks.bottle.tar.gz
Try running brew update-reset in your terminal and then run brew upgrade in the same terminal.
"Homebrew install fails with Error: Failed to install Homebrew Portable Ruby" helped me tremendously.
It would fail to install, because our company firewall was blocking certain downloads, like bottle, during the Homebrew update/install, but it was difficult to determine this because I would get the error above.
After removing the file, try
brew upgrade
brew update
on your personal Wifi or your phone's hotspot.
I fixed it.
First, I deleted the brew file that stores in the Library folder when using macOS.
The failure before was due to the connection. When I make sure the connection worked, it worked.
Remove the Homebrew Portable Ruby tar.gz from your Mac using:
rm <the path.tar.gz>
rm -rf <the path.tar.gz>
I've been automating this for years. There is a new something(?) in play during the Homebrew install.
I had the same error as above. I filed an issue report and got a response that fixed my problem:
CI=1 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
I'm not sure what prefixing with CI=1 does but all my automation issues went away.
To retry an incomplete download, remove the file above, then run:
rm /.../Library/Caches/Homebrew/portableruby-2.6.3.mavericks.bottle.tar.gz
and try again
my problem was:
Already downloaded: ../Library/Caches/Homebrew/portable-ruby-2.6.8_1.el_capitan.bottle.tar.gz
==> Pouring portable-ruby-2.6.8_1.el_capitan.bottle.tar.gz
Error: Failed to install ruby 2.6.8_1!
Error: Failed to install Homebrew Portable Ruby (and your system version is too old)!
Fixed with opening the system app for terminal and installing Rosetta into the prompt. This happened after system update MacOS to 11.6.7
After resolving this brew did brew upgrade finish well.
Hope this helps someone.
Here is how I fixed it:
brew cleanup then brew upgrade
I am a OSX user, recently I want to update my homebrew but continuing error like following
Is there anyone face such problem too?
Due to the presence of /usr/local/var/homebrew/locks/update, it seems that another homebrew update is in progress. I would start by running brew doctor and follow any instructions there. If that doesn't help, I would delete the lock file and and try to update again.
