homebrew-cask-upgrade: brew update abnormal result: #

When I run the brew cu --all command, brew update will be automatically executed, but the result like the following seems abnormal：

Fixes #100 Fixing `brew update` result message — committed to ondrejfuhrer/homebrew-cask-upgrade by ondrejfuhrer 6 years ago

@ljakab Well, it is “usable”. This clearly states that the installed cask qgis is broken. That package was removed and is not maintained any more (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/41883), so I would suggest to remove it and that should fix the issue (if there is not any other that is breaking it).

The “problem” here is, that that is not something we (meaning in this repo) can take care of or anyhow fix, if the brew cask ... commands are not working at all, that means the whole caskroom in your machine is broken for whatever reason.

@giacgbj @ljakab I would say you have something “wrong” (unsupported, deleted) installed, that’s why you have that message. If you run brew cask outdated (or maybe with --geedy argument) is there anything special?

Maybe even brew cask list so that we can take a look what can be problematic cask.

@ondrejfuhrer @buo, thanks a lot for the fix, after brew update, this abnormal output disappeared.
