Overview of issue
I'm not sure the best way to address this (maybe preinstall_script?), but Homebrew still has an install loop, at least for an upgrade/update.
The main issue is that the package on the Homebrew releases page doesn't seem to overwrite an existing Homebrew installation.
Details of issue
For example, if you download and install Homebrew 4.4.20, and then run
/opt/homebrew/bin/brew --version, it will returnHomebrew 4.4.13-15-g882bb52(or whatever older version you had installed) and not anything like4.4.20.At first I thought maybe it wasn't overwriting the binary, so I tried
sudo rm /opt/homebrew/bin/brew. After reinstalling, it was still on 4.4.13.So I blew out the entire
/opt/homebrewsubdir. After reinstalling, it finally returnedHomebrew 4.4.20.So we may need to have the Munki recipe remove the old Homebrew before updating/upgrading.
