Verification

• My brew doctor output says Your system is ready to brew. and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• I ran brew update and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• I have resolved all warnings from brew doctor and that did not fix my problem.
• I searched for recent similar issues at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues?q=is%3Aissue and found no duplicates.

What were you trying to do (and why)?

Installed curl and expected command line completions to be installed

What happened (include all command output)?

no zsh completions installed

What did you expect to happen?

zsh completions installed

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

I execute `brew install curl` and restart the shell. I don't get any command line completions.

I'm using zsh 5.9

When I search under `/opt/homebrew` for `_curl` I get only two hits


❯ fd -uuu '_curl\b'
  share/zsh/functions/_curl
  Cellar/zsh/5.9/share/zsh/functions/_curl

The first is a link to the second. The complete content of the second is:

  #compdef curl

  # As of 7.43.0, curl upstream provides its own _curl definition.  This
  # definition is provided as a fallback, and should be installed later
  # in $fpath than the curl-provided definition of _curl.

  _gnu_generic || _urls "$@"

Running fd -uuu '\b_curl\b' from the root folder does not find any other completion files.

Reinstalling curl with brew reinstall curl does not alter this.

When I look at the homebrew code for installing curl, I find no mention of completions. Compare this to other tools, like ripgrep or fd that do mention completions.
