Unexpected method 'appcast' called

[rovf]

Verification

• I understand that if I ignore these instructions, my issue may be closed without review.
• I have retried my command with --force.
• I ran brew update-reset && brew update and retried my command.
• I ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried my command.
• I have checked the instructions for reporting bugs.
• I made doubly sure this is not a checksum does not match / SHA256 mismatch error (do not open an issue before trying to open a PR to fix first).

Description of issue

I'm on MacOS 12.7.3

Doing a

brew leaves

produces the messages

rm: /usr/local/Homebrew/.git/describe-cache/1c98a33a376e5b35ebc801d0f7d6ba7b9eb118ac: Permission denied
rm: /usr/local/Homebrew/.git/describe-cache: Permission denied

Error: Unexpected method 'appcast' called on Cask haskell-platform.

Running the command with -force does not work (error message invalid option: -force)

a brew update also produces the unexpected method error.

ls -l /usr/local/Homebrew/.git/describe-cache/1c98a33a376e5b35ebc801d0f7d6ba7b9eb118ac

shows

My user does have admin rights.

Take a look at our pinned issue: #173201 (comment).

[rovf]

I can send you the output of the missing brew commands by email, if needed. Maybe it makes sense that you also fix the github site that it allows longer comments. The requested output you are looking for has a size of about 100000 bytes.

@khipp : If I understand you correctly, you want me to remove /usr/local/Caskroom/haskell-platform and all of its subdirectories.

What consequences will this have? Does it mean that the programming language Haskell won't be installed anymore on my Mac?

If you remove /usr/local/Caskroom/haskell-platform it will remove the Homebrew related files for the cask, but will leave the application itself in tact.
