I can’t reproduce. Please run brew update and try again.

[BlindGuyNW]

Done, and same result.

I wanted to say that it worked once before consistently failing with this error.

Please post the output of brew doctor and brew config.

brew doctor, twice for good measure:
Your system is ready to brew.

Reproduces for me on OS X 10.9.5.

I'll have a look.

[apjanke]

Looks like this was caused by Homebrew/brew@e9886ca; introduced in the core/formula split. It's dependent on whether you already have a descriptions cache file created, which may be why bfontaine couldn't reproduce.

Should be an easy fix.

[apjanke]

I have a PR in for it: Homebrew/brew#12

[apjanke]

I believe this is fixed now. Do a brew update to pick it up and let me know if it resolves things for you.

[BlindGuyNW]

Resolved, and thanks. :)
