<formula unkonwn> undefined method `rebuild'

[appkr]

If Homebrew was updated on Aug 10-11th 2016 and brew update always says Already up-to-date. you need to run: cd $(brew --repo); git fetch; git reset --hard origin/master; brew update.

Please follow the general troubleshooting steps first:

• [v] Ran brew update and retried your prior step?
• [v ] Ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried your prior step?
• If you're seeing permission errors tried running sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)?

You can erase any parts of this template not applicable to your Issue.

Sorry for interrupting you. I manage to fix the problem, but I don't remember what I did. Anyway thanks.

[heisjoe]

I did the following code to resolve the problem

cd $(brew --prefix)
rm Library/Formula/argp-standalone.rb
rm Library/Formula/cocot.rb

And then do the

git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/master
brew update

i dont know why but it done

[CyberPunkCodes]

Followed the OP's instructions:

cd $(brew --repo); git fetch; git reset --hard origin/master; brew update

Worked like a charm :) This should be on the main README as a failsafe to force brew to update so we can get back in action.

Actually it is! https://github.com/Homebrew/brew

oh wow. maybe i was on another page or just scrolled right past it not expecting it to be the very first thing..
