To retry an incomplete download, remove the file above.

I tried

brew cleanup && brew update

but not worked

Answer 1

Some one face the same issue. https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php/issues/875

"I checked the downloaded file, and it's the html download page rather than the tarball.

It looks like php now wants the URLs to be in the form of http://www.php.net/get/php-5.4.22.tar.bz2/from/a/mirror instead of http://www.php.net/get/php-5.4.22.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror

EDIT: I'm totally mistaken with this. from/this/mirror is the correct one, but it's borked on php's side."

Answer 2

Sometimes, you may have a package that have a new SHA (eg: github updated the way it compress tar.gz), so best thing to do is to fix the original formula (you can try locally and also push your change upstream).

Answer 3

I had the same problem with MongoDb. I was able to fix it first I changed the permission to admin.

Then I ran

brew cleanup && brew update

After that I ran

brew install mongodb 

and it worked like a charm

Answer 4

I got fix, using steps wrote by MoOx:

cd /Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/

and delete manually the package and run againbrew upgrade works fine!
