I’ve recently upgraded to macOS High Sierra. I’ve updated and upgraded homebrew. I’ve done:

brew install parallel

And now I need to:

brew install moreutils --without-parallel

This fails. Looking at:

$HOME/Library/Logs/Homebrew/moreutils/05.make

I can see that this is related to docbook-xsl:

xsltproc --param man.authors.section.enabled 0 /usr/local/opt/docbook-xsl/docbook-xsl/manpages/docbook.xsl ifdata.docbook

  • Have you looked at this? Jan 28, 2018 at 2:37
  • @JakeGould , I was able to run homebrew parallel and moreutils (installed --without-parallel) on the same mac running El Capitan. After the upgrade to High Sierra, installing moreutils --without-parallel (without parallel in place) fails.

  • This is not expected. I'd recommend creating a bug report here: github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues (make sure you fill out the issue template)

This can be closed as it seems the issue was fixed overnight.

In homebrew 2.0 options have been removed

Homebrew does not have any formulae with options in Homebrew/homebrew-core. Options will still be supported and encouraged by third-party taps
