ohmyzsh: [oh-my-zsh] fzf plugin: Cannot find fzf installation directory.

I started to get this error message a couple of weeks ago

@yowainwright What do you get when executing brew --prefix fzf?

@yowainwright sure! The ones relevant to omz, or even only the initialisation of fzf plugin.

@yowainwright that’s really weird, and it should not happen. Could I get tracing from your startup? Executing zsh -xvic exit &>~/omz-debug.log would do the trick. Please send that file to logs@ohmyz.sh. Thanks!
