Update them from Software Update in System Preferences or run:

Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar.
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause formulae that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:
  qt
  php@5.6

Warning: Some installed formulae are not readable:
  php56-xdebug: cannot load such file -- /usr/local/opt/php56-xdebug/Abstract/abstract-php-extension

  php@5.6: "cxx11" is not a recognized standard

Warning: Homebrew's "sbin" was not found in your PATH but you have installed
formulae that put executables in /usr/local/sbin.
Consider setting your PATH for example like so:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

I ran brew update and am still able to reproduce my issue.

What were you trying to do (and why)?

I tried to upgrade selected casks from brew outdated using the command brew upgrade cask.... The upgrade failed for libreoffice-language-pack.

What happened (include all command output)?

$ brew upgrade libreoffice-language-pack
Error: Not upgrading 1 `installer manual` cask.
libreoffice-language-pack
$

What did you expect to happen?

The cask should be upgraded (as it did in the past) or a more descriptive message should be presented (including instructions what to do to upgrade the cask).

i was also surprised that the upgrade not work anymore on libreoffice-language-pack 😦

Error: Not upgrading 1 installer manual cask.

This error message gives me no hint what is wrong with it and i even need to google for an explanaition of the error message, because i never seen this with brew before.

at least it would be helpful if it would print out a help text (which is in the cask definition file) and i see a “solution” how to get things done.

in this example:

hint: cask libreoffice-language-pack can not upgraded, use brew reinstall --cask libreoffice-language-pack instead

Specific Homebrew code change in Homebrew/brew#11378

Thank you for the link, @cho-m! (I had seen the other issue before but not this one.) The mentioned change added the error message I am experiencing. However, LibreOffice Language Pack (LLP) works differently than battle-net as described in #105622. The LLP cask provides an installer that just modifies LibreOffice.app and then can be safely removed or replaced (upgraded).

I discovered a workaround – I downloaded the upgrade of LLP successfully by issuing:

brew reinstall libreoffice-language-pack

So I think the same action could be still done in brew upgrade as it used to be. (Moreover, the command could automatically launch the GUI installer of LibreOffice Language Pack instead of just writing its location but that’s another story.)

I am not an expert in Homebrew internals but I think the installer: manual definition should be removed from the LibreOffice Language Pack cask or replaced with a more appropriate one since its meaning changed due to Homebrew/brew#11378.

Can confirm the problem persists (and the workaround using reinstall too).

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.

The problem has not been corrected yet (checked by issuing brew upgrade libreoffice-language-pack now), so this issue is not ready to be closed.

FWIW: Problem still exists.

Already up-to-date.
