I am running Homebrew on 10.13.6, with the prefix /usr/local
.
When I run brew upgrade
, two directories are created in /usr/local/share
. These are: /usr/local/share/man/man2
, and /usr/local/share/man/man6
. There are no files in these directories.
Meanwhile, whenever I run brew prune --verbose
, I get the output:
rmdir /usr/local/share/man/man6
rmdir /usr/local/share/man/man2
Pruned 0 symbolic links and 2 directories from /usr/local
Whenever brew upgrade
, these two troublesome directories are then re-created! The cycle continues, on and on and on. I have repeatedly run brew update
, brew cleanup
, and brew doctor
. I have even reinstalled Homebrew and all my packages. Yet, the eternal battle between brew upgrade
and brew prune
continues.
How can I get them to stop fighting?
