It's possible the user's terminal emulator is running under rosetta2.
Consequently, the i86_64 version of the ruby interpreter will be used.
Likely, the right thing to do is simply install the arm64 version of the
requested package. This can be accomplished using: arch -arm64 brew ...
Fixes: #10313
- Output `brew doctor` and `brew install` messages noting this configuration is (currently) unsupported and encourage use of Rosetta instead
- Output Rosetta 2 usage in `brew config` on ARM (whether in Rosetta 2 or not)
- Check the architecture of (newly installed) dependencies and ensure they are using the correct architecture.
- Don't allow installing macOS Intel Homebrew in macOS ARM Homebrew default prefix (and vice versa
- Actually write out the architecture of dependencies to the tab rather than generating and throwing them away
- Set and document the expected default prefix for macOS Intel Homebrew, macOS ARM Homebrew (`/opt/homebrew`) and Homebrew on Linux
While we're here:
- Don't say Big Sur is a prerelease version but still make it clear we
don't support it (yet).
- Don't reference non-existent IRC channel
- This also required auto-fixes for Layout/EmptyLinesAroundBlockBody and
Layout/InconsistentIndentation once the auto-fixer had got rid of the
"redundant begin"s.
- Make `gist-logs` perform more checks
- Don't complain about a non-/usr/local install at install time unless
actually building from source.
- Show more checks output on a build error
- Improve naming of checks methods
- ensure that `HOMEBREW_CELLAR` is always created on `install`.
- remove the need for a special `PRUNEABLE_DIRECTORIES` variable
- reuse values from existing variables and get `uniq`s.
Consolidate the handling of which directories need to exist and which
need to be writable. Additionally, add a fatal check for formula
installations to ensure that any directories that need to be writable
are so before attempting an installation.
Fixes#4626.
It was just confusing, and since the `brew upgrade` refactor this makes more sense too.
Shame it still downloads in there etc. but whatever. Homebrew 2 will fix!
Consequence: you can no longer install when something is already installed, you must upgrade it. This doesn't apply if the formula in question was unlinked. You can still --force installs though.
Rationale: the old way of installing over the top would leave symlinks to multiple versions in /usr/local if the old version had a file the newer version didn't. The new upgrade command handles everything properly.
