Brew link fails intermittently on MacOS Sonoma
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: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar.
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause formulae that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:
gdk-pixbuf
harfbuzz

What were you trying to do (and why)?
I was trying to install a package so I could use it when the linking of a dependency failed. This has happened on multiple packages.
What happened (include all command output)?
I ran the command brew link librsvg multiple times without making any changes and got different outputs.

What did you expect to happen?
I would expect it to consistently fail or to consistently pass.
Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)
`brew install <package with failed linking>`
run `brew link <failed linking package>` until it works
Read-only file system @ dir_s_mkdir - /Cellar
This is not an error I've ever seen before. What's the output of mount? Do you have Homebrew on a network drive or anything?
The output of brew link --verbose --debug might also be helpful for a failed and successful attempt (from the same formula)

I don't have Homebrew on a network drive. Also I wasn't having any problems like this before I upgraded to Sonoma.
Nope I'm running it on a normal 2023 MacBook Pro.

We'll need the output of brew link --debug --verbose for a failing and a successful run to get anywhere here, I think.
Is your machine managed by an MDM (e.g. Jamf, Kandji)?
