/usr/local/Cellar query

[andrewvalentine]

Hello!

As per README.md:

By default behaviour brew pkg include all package kegs located in /usr/local/Cellar/packagename.

I've built some pkgs with brew pkg that don't seem to function as I'd expect, with errors indicating that the required files at /usr/local/Cellar do not exist. For example, I built a package for the the document converter Pandoc as follows:

[me@host] ~ > brew install pandoc
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/pandoc-1.17.2.el_capitan.bottle.tar.gz
Already downloaded: /Users/me/Library/Caches/Homebrew/pandoc-1.17.2.el_capitan.bottle.tar.gz
==> Pouring pandoc-1.17.2.el_capitan.bottle.tar.gz
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink etc/bash_completion.d/pandoc
Target /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/pandoc
already exists. You may want to remove it:
  rm '/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/pandoc'

To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
  brew link --overwrite pandoc

To list all files that would be deleted:
  brew link --overwrite --dry-run pandoc

Possible conflicting files are:
/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/pandoc
/usr/local/bin/pandoc

I then uninstalled the brew package:

Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/pandoc/1.17.2... (72 files, 84.8M)
[me@host] ~ > brew cleanup
[me@host] ~ > brew prune

And installed the built brew pkg:

[me@host] ~ > sudo installer -pkg pandoc-1.17.2.pkg -target /
Password:
installer: Package name is pandoc-1.17.2
installer: Upgrading at base path /
installer: The upgrade was successful.

I then carried out the test instructions at Pandoc - Getting Started:

[me@host] ~ > touch test1.md
[me@host] ~ > pandoc test1.md -f markdown -t html -s -o test1.html
pandoc: Could not find data file /usr/local/Cellar/pandoc/1.17.2/share/x86_64-osx-ghc-8.0.1/pandoc-1.17.2/data/templates/default.html

My understanding is that brew pkg includes the package kegs from /usr/local/Cellar for the given formula, but this doesn't seem to be the case in my testing. Have I done something wrong with my initial packaging?

Thanks,

Andrew

I have the same issue. (watchman if it matters)
