homebrew - brew 安装: undefined method `desc'

Question

我尝试用 Homebrew 软件安装一些软件。

但我得到以下信息:

>>>brew install irssi
Error: undefined method `desc' for Formulary::Formulae::Irssi:Class

/usr/local/Library/brew.rb:135:in `<main>'

我尝试进行 brew update 并重试，但遇到了同样的问题。我尝试使用brew doctor，但我得到了以下几十个(数百个？):

undefined method `desc' for Formulary::Formulae::<something>::Class

我该如何解决这个问题？即使有解决方法也可以。

预先感谢您的帮助!

未定义的 desc 方法表明您的 Homebrew 已过时。推荐的解决方案是 update your Homebrew版本:

$ brew update -v

使用-v标志将提供额外的输出。运行命令twice ，然后再次尝试安装公式。
