Output of brew doctor

Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers
with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
working fine: please don't worry or file an issue; just ignore this. Thanks!

Warning: Some installed formulae are deprecated or disabled.
You should find replacements for the following formulae:
  icu4c@75
  libgit2@1.7
  tldr

Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar.
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause formulae that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:
  librsvg

Warning: You are using macOS 10.15.
We (and Apple) do not provide support for this old version.
It is expected behaviour that some formulae will fail to build in this old version.
It is expected behaviour that Homebrew will be buggy and slow.
Do not create any issues about this on Homebrew's GitHub repositories.
Do not create any issues even if you think this message is unrelated.
Any opened issues will be immediately closed without response.
Do not ask for help from Homebrew or its maintainers on social media.
You may ask for help in Homebrew's discussions but are unlikely to receive a response.
Try to figure out the problem yourself and submit a fix as a pull request.
We will review it but may or may not accept it.

Description of issue

As per the Title. Not sure if Catalina-related issues are still looked at by the community/maintainers (I know with the last Ruby updates, the bare minimum version for even compiling formula has bumped to at least Sierra, since I think I hit one of the last El Capitan Ruby bottle errors).

In any case, libavif is not able to update to v1.2. The failure reports the last 15 logfile lines as:

==> cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH=@loader_path/../lib -DAVIF_CODEC_AOM=SYSTEM -DAVIF_BUILD_APPS=ON -DAVIF_BUILD_EXAM

I can't see anything else relevant in the log file (there are only a few preceding lines with things like successful checks for AOM being present and so on.

It's a known issue: AOMediaCodec/libavif#2653

PR in progress: Homebrew/homebrew-core#209635

[OldCrow]

Ah, good to know - thanks.

Is there by chance a similar known issue with librsvg? It showed up as an "unlinked" formula warning in my brew doctor output because it was in the middle of updating - but that update also failed. If known already, cool. If not, I can start a new issue.

[gromgit]

No idea, best you file a new issue.

[OldCrow]

Done. Thanks again and I look forward to the PR being approved and available.

[gromgit]

PR is merged. brew update, then try the install again.

[OldCrow]

It worked perfectly. Thanks. Hopefully the librsvg ticket turns out to be an equally easy fix.
