brew doctor output

Your system is ready to brew.

Verification

• I ran brew update twice and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• My "brew doctor output" above says Your system is ready to brew or a definitely unrelated Tier message.
• This issue's title and/or description do not reference a single formula e.g. brew install wget. If they do, open an issue at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/new/choose instead.

What were you trying to do (and why)?

I wanted to upgrade everything (with brew upgrade). It didn't work, so I cleared the cache and tried again, with the same result.

What happened (include all command output)?

Error: Couldn't find manifest matching bottle checksum.

What did you expect to happen?

Upgrade everything.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

This just happens whenever I run brew upgrade.

I tried restarting my terminal emulator (iTerm2).

Immediately before this issue, I had a different issue:

$ brew update
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled
Error: homebrew/homebrew-cask-fonts does not exist! Run brew untap homebrew/homebrew-cask-fonts to remove it.

I ran brew untap homebrew/homebrew-cask-fonts, which seemed to fix that issue, but led me immediately to the issue I'm having now.

It's an M1 chipset, running iTerm2 3.6.6 on macOS Tahoe 26.1.

Hi there,

I attempted to reproduce this issue today (December 5, 2025) by running brew upgrade --verbose on my system.

Observed Result:
The brew upgrade --verbose command completed successfully, upgrading 9 outdated formulae without encountering the "Couldn't find manifest matching bottle checksum" error. All bottles verified and poured correctly.

Conclusion:
This suggests the issue was either an intermittent network/server synchronization problem at the time of the original report, or it has been fixed in a recent Homebrew or bottle infrastructure update.

My Environment :

• macOS Version: 15.1-arm64
• Homebrew Version: 5.0.4 (Latest stable version at time of test)
• CPU: 14-core 64-bit arm_brava

This issue appears to be resolved on the current stable version.
