`brew install zig --HEAD` fails to install
Hi,
For whatever reason, trying to install a nightly build of Zig via Homebrew on an M1 Mac is failing, as it seems like brew fails to install necessary dependencies. Fixing the issue is pretty easy, as installing the dependencies manually seems to allow the source build to continue, but having the install process work right away would be ideal.
Thanks!

Hello -
I encountered this error as well when brew was trying to install the six dependency. I tried installing six directly with brew install six and it installed the same version with no issue. Re-running brew install zig --head lead to the same error but this time on installing z3. I then installed z3 with brew install with no issue. After that, brew install zig --head worked fine.
I realize this does not address the origin of the issue but thought I'd share for anyone else that lands here coming from an internet search.
