Error on [geerlingguy.mac.homebrew : Ensure proper ownership on homebrew_install_path subdirs.] OSError: [Errno 63] File name too long.

Hi,

I keep ending up with this error when trying to run geerlingguy.mac.homebrew. Have imitated what is in mac-dev-playbook. Runs through ok on initial playbook run yet if I run the playbook a second time I keep getting the error below. I've tried searching for any insight but no avail. Is this an error within geerlingguy.mac.homebrew or have I missed something.

It's been replicated on two clean installs of M1 Macs running macOS 14.4, Python 3.12.2, Ansible core 2.16.4.

I encountered the same thing. The temporary solution is to uninstall Calibre, which will allow the playbook to get past that step. It's not the best option, but it does work.
