How to install parity without upgrading postgresql package?

I have postgresql 13.3 installed via Homebrew. It works great and I have some other packages (postgis) that have postgresql as its dependency. I also have several databases that I don't want to mess up.

I want to install parity and have it use current postgresql 13.3. I don't want to upgrade postgresql just so I can install parity.

Please note that I had parity installed earlier today and it was working with current postgresql 13.3 just fine.

How can I install parity, without upgrading postgresql package? Thanks!

What command did you execute?

brew install parity

What did you expect to happen?

It install parity and uses existing (homebrew installed) postgreql package.

What actually happened?

I got the following error:

Error: You must brew unpin postgresql as installing thoughtbot/formulae/parity requires the latest version of pinned dependencies

Some information about your installation

  • What's your operating system? macOS Big Sur 11.6
  • What's the output of which development, which staging, which production? development not found, staging not found, production not found
    Parity has had multiple installation channels, and it's not uncommon for an
    old version to be somewhere else in your path.
  • If installed via Homebrew, what does brew list parity output? N/A
  • If installed via Rubygems, what's the gem version? N/A

Got it, this works:

brew install thoughtbot/formulae/parity --ignore-dependencies

It might be time to stop making PG a dependency, there's a lot of value in parity IMO even if you don't use the DB features.
