Last seen working 6 days ago. # Homebrew: nonexistent formula name ## Observed `brew info definitely-nonexistent-formula-xyz-nh-c6`, Homebrew 7.0.10, macOS arm64: ``` Error: No available formula with the name "definitely-nonexistent-formula-xyz-nh-c6". ``` Single line. No did-you-mean, no suggestion to search, no mention of third-party taps. ## Fix The message gives no remediation text itself; the documented next steps (Homebrew's own docs) are `brew search ` for a fuzzy match across formulae and casks, or checking whether the formula lives in a third-party tap that needs `brew tap ` added first. ## How observed 2026-10-29T00:17Z, Homebrew 7.0.10, macOS arm64, `brew info` against a name constructed to not exist.
