Unable to install with "brew install nakabonne/ali/ali"

I noticed this when installing:

$ brew install nakabonne/ali/ali

@rmgmediaval Hi, thank you for reporting! According to Homebrew's documentation, the way to use fully qualified names seems to be recommended. And in my local machine, it actually works at Homebrew v2.5.2:

❯ brew -v
Homebrew 2.5.2

❯ brew install nakabonne/ali/ali
==> Installing ali from nakabonne/ali
==> Downloading https://github.com/nakabonne/ali/releases/download/v0.3.3/ali_0.3.3_darwin_amd64.tar.gz
🍺  /usr/local/Cellar/ali/0.3.3: 5 files, 6.2MB, built in 2 seconds

Could you let me know what version do you use?

This appears to be a problem with homebrew 2.5.3: ChargePoint/xcparse#54

[snacks-lord]

I have Homebrew v 2.5.3

@rnevius Thanks for the valuable information!

@rmgmediaval Can you try to update it and see if you can install it?

[snacks-lord]

@nakabonne I think there is a small misunderstanding. I was able to install ali when I posted my initial comment (see above).
I just thought I'd help by letting you know that I wasn't able to do it with qualified names. I simply wasn't aware it was because of my homebrew version.

Furthermore, I updated my homebrew installation and tried installing the cask the way it's described in the README. It attempts to do it now.

`$ brew install nakabonne/ali/ali

Tested this on 2.5.5, and it works fine now, the problem was introduced in homebrew 2.5.3 and fixed in 2.5.4 Homebrew/brew#8875

@rmgmediaval @agoddard Thanks for giving it a try! Closing since we found out it was a Homebrew's bug that only occurred at v2.5.3.
