and can still reproduce the problem?brew doctor
, fixed all issues and can still reproduce the problem?brew config
andbrew doctor
and included their output with your issue?What you were trying to do (and why)
I was trying to see what packages where out of date and what they would update to. I assumed that
--dry-run
would not take any action. I wanted to see if I should upgrade my packages or if I cared if they were out of date.What happened (include command output)
Expected: Got a list of 62 outdated packages that would be upgraded
Unexpected: Broken dependents were reinstalled from source
Desired: No system-changing actions should be taken
Command output
What you expected to happen
I expected that
--dry-run
would show me what it would do and not actually make any changes to my system or installed packages.Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running
brew
commands)Output of
brew config
andbrew doctor
commandsI wonder if the lack of linking caused it. Still, --dry-run should not have caused any action to occur. IMO.
