Not a plain file error

[austinbutler]

Up until today "brew cu" has been working great! But today I get this error, then it stops:

(1/31) apache-directory-studio: up to date
(2/31) atom: 1.10.2 -> 1.11.0
(3/31) discord: up to date
(4/31) docker: up to date
Error: File '/Users/abutler/dropbox' is not a plain file

What it is complaining about is a folder, not a file. It's where I have my Dropbox folder.

I am getting the same thing.

Looks like the underlying issue might be this: Homebrew/homebrew-cask#25496

Fixed in Homebrew/brew#1315.

I still seem to be having this issue ?

@lanox there hasn't been a weekly release yet since the fix was merged in. If you don't want to wait, just cd "$(brew --repository)" && git checkout master && git pull origin master

@jawshooah thanks.

Should be fixed and merged into stable now (as of 1.0.9)

Thanks for all your comments guys! Now I will close this issue and mark as resolved.
