Please address this issue - This is really frustrating. There doesn't seem to be any way around this.

I suspected if this is caused by brew architecture. I used to have the same issue because I had the ARM version of brew installed. But now I installed brew in x86_64 compatible version (Rosetta 2 = True)

As you can see from my brew --config, specifically these two parameters

• macOS: 12.4-x86_64
• Rosetta 2: true

Because if you installed brew in ARM mode (aka Apple M1 native), then all its subsequent packages will be installed in ARM compatible mode by default, however, there is no guarantee of these packages have switched to support ARM (Apple M1), e.g., catr/qt@4 & [email protected].

So, I guess not ideal, but in the meantime, perhaps just fall back to use the x86_64 version of homebrew for now.

Resolved the issue by creating a parallel brew-x64 installation
