brew doctor output

Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers
with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
working fine: please don't worry or file an issue; just ignore this. Thanks!

Warning: Some installed formulae are deprecated or disabled.
You should find replacements for the following formulae:
  neofetch
  youtube-dl

Verification

• My "brew doctor output" above says Your system is ready to brew. and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• I ran brew update twice and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• This issue's title and/or description do not reference a single formula e.g. brew install wget. If they do, open an issue at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/new/choose instead.

What were you trying to do (and why)?

I have a script that periodically runs brew fetch on out of date formulae, so that they don't have to download when running brew upgrade. However, I've been getting this error message ever since sometime between 11/21-11/25: Warning: Bottle for tag :sequoia is unavailable.. I saw this discussion on how Intel Sequoia will largely not have dedicated bottles, however I'd expect brew fetch <formula> to just fetch the same bottle that would be used in brew install <formula>, without having to specify --bottle-tag sonoma

What happened (include all command output)?

~> brew fetch --formula node
Warning: Bottle for tag :sequoia is unavailable.

What did you expect to happen?

Something like this:

~> brew fetch --bottle-tag sonoma node

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

1. Choose any formula for which neither a `sequoia:` nor an `all:` bottle exist
2. `brew fetch --formula <formula>` on an Intel Mac on macOS 15

Thanks @muneebmahmed! Just to make sure I understand

• brew install node still works as expected on Intel Sequoia
• brew fetch node no longer works as expected on Intel Sequoia

Is that correct?

[muneebmahmed]

That is correct, @MikeMcQuaid
