Hi!

There have been some encoding issues when reading the output of external commands such as hdiutil due to Homebrew's switch to Ruby 2.0.

Could you make sure you have the very latest versions?

$ brew update && brew upgrade brew-cask && brew cleanup

If the problem persists, it would help to send us the output of brew cask doctor.

[rolandwalker]

I'm making #4857 the official issue for this bug.

[bixuanzju]

Sorry for the late response but the problem still remains after running commands:

$ brew update && brew upgrade brew-cask && brew cleanup && brew cask cleanup

The output of brew cask doctor is:

Thanks for the followup.

On closer reading, this looks like a unique bug. You seem to have a bad or old installation of VirtualPC which is putting garbage into the output of the hdiutil utility. You could try to uninstall VirtualPC, or to delete the bad bundle directory at /Library/Plug-ins/DiskImages/VirtualPCDiskImagePlugin.bundle.

But we can also make some changes on our end to defend against this issue. I've re-opened and assigned myself.

@rolandwalker Thank you for the reply. How can I reinstall/update VirtualPC on my side? I took a close look at that directory, and there is only one VirtualPCDiskImagePlugin.bundle, can I delete it safely?

[bixuanzju]

@rolandwalker Thank you! After I delete /Library/Plug-ins/DiskImages/VirtualPCDiskImagePlugin.bundle, Chrome is successfully installed.
