I use brew to install various tools on my macOS. I just did a brew update and part of it failed because GPGTools installs symlinks in /usr/local/bin:

% ls -l /usr/local/bin/gpg* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 32 Jul 11 19:34 /usr/local/bin/gpg-agent@ -> /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg-agent
lrwxrwxr-x 1 barry admin 41 Jul 9 11:40 /usr/local/bin/gpg-error@ -> ../Cellar/libgpg-error/1.27/bin/gpg-error
lrwxrwxr-x 1 barry admin 48 Jul 9 11:40 /usr/local/bin/gpg-error-config@ -> ../Cellar/libgpg-error/1.27/bin/gpg-error-config
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 27 Jul 11 19:34 /usr/local/bin/gpg2@ -> /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg2

    Hi Barry,

    workarounds may be to either remove the symlinks or adjust the rights with chown barry.

    All the best,
