Issue with brew #4020
Description
Description
When I use brew install cppcheck cpplint include-what-you-use, I get the error:
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink bin/2to3
Target /usr/local/bin/2to3
already exists. You may want to remove it:
rm '/usr/local/bin/2to3'
To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
brew link --overwrite python@3.9
To list all files that would be deleted:
brew link --overwrite --dry-run python@3.9
Possible conflicting files are:
/usr/local/bin/2to3 -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/2to3
This issue has emerged recently. That command worked well one week ago.
