Installation on Apple Silicon: ssh-askpass not found in brew's default location
Closed this issue · 5 comments
(Excuse me if it's a duplicate of some issue.)
Installing fuse-t with brew on a Mac Silicon system (Sonoma 14.6.1) results in an error saying ssh-askpass couldn't be found under /usr/local/bin. The thing is, the clean Homebrew installations use /opt/homebrew/bin path instead.
The script installs Homebrew to its default, supported, best prefix (/opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon, /usr/local for macOS Intel
Here's the log message:
Error: Failure while executing; `/usr/bin/sudo -u root -A -E LOGNAME=kj USER=kj USERNAME=kj -- /usr/sbin/installer -pkg /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/fuse-t/1.0.38/fuse-t-macos-installer-1.0.38.pkg -target /` exited with 1. Here's the output:
sudo: unable to run /usr/local/bin/ssh-askpass: No such file or directory
sudo: no password was provided
sudo: a password is required
which ssh-askpass
/opt/homebrew/bin/ssh-askpass
I installed fuse-t on an Intel iMac without a problem. Thanks for help or hints how to work around the issue.
I'm not sure I'm following your question, who's or what's invoking ssh-askpass?
what's invoking ssh-askpass?
The fuse-t installation process.
fuse-t installation script doesn't invoke ssh-askpass.
I didn't make this up :)
Maybe brew on my systems is borked or there is some explanation. Thanks anyway.
Mystery solved, a LaunchAgent from an older synced installation of ssh-askpass was still being loaded, interrupting the process.
Sorry for confusing :)
