Description of issue
I recently discovered that
brew cleanup
removes orphaned dependencies. This is great! I used to runbrew leaves
and remove them myself, which was annoying and tedious.I did however discover a bug: when those unused dependencies are removed, the "This operation has freed approximately XYZ of disk space" does not consider them. It only counts the cache, logs, old versions of still-installed things, etc.
Apologies for the abbreviated doctor and config sections. I'm on a phone right now.
