PATH problems with hombrew

I am having several PATH problems with my bazzite install on my desktop PC first sometimes brew packages are randomly not found for example I have the bazzite-cli bling enabled and running cat gives

 cat .bash_profile
fish: Unknown command: bat
~/.config/fish/functions/cat.fish (line 2): 
  bat $argv
  ^~^
in function 'cat' with arguments '.bash_profile'

 cat .bash_profile
fish: Unknown command: bat
~/.config/fish/functions/cat.fish (line 2): 
  bat $argv
  ^~^
in function 'cat' with arguments '.bash_profile'

but i get this if I try to install bat

brew install bat
==> Downloading https://formulae.brew.sh/api/formula.jws.json
###################################################################################################################################################################################### 100.0%
Warning: bat 0.24.0_1 is already installed and up-to-date.
To reinstall 0.24.0_1, run:
  brew reinstall bat

brew install bat
==> Downloading https://formulae.brew.sh/api/formula.jws.json
###################################################################################################################################################################################### 100.0%
Warning: bat 0.24.0_1 is already installed and up-to-date.
To reinstall 0.24.0_1, run:
  brew reinstall bat

and when brew packages are working they override my system packages for example

which systemctl
/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/systemctl

which systemctl
/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/systemctl

Solution:

updated again and rebooted and its working now :shruggie: anyway my unlinked systemd with brew unlink systemd and now no system packages are getting overriden to brew packages so seems like my brew problems are fixed...

intrestingly if I run bash first then fish bat starts working. so the issue is that fish is no longer seeing hombrew stuff in the path no idea why it was working earlier today....

Probably because of this https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1237926270151688192/1274987454486675468

ah probably at least my first problem. still don't know whats up with my second problem of brew paths overriding system paths

Zeglius•5w ago

Thats normal, happens to me as well. You can fix that with brew unlink systemd

zany130•5w ago

@Kyle Gospo and @j0rge where saying thats not supposed to happen https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1187140365115998291/1275670776871129189

thats with me

Zeglius•5w ago

but thats with python, other dependencies (like systemd) might not be excluded by default from brew PATH I had to unlink systemd in my case

Zeglius•5w ago

gonna post this so we keep track of the problem regarding brew programs not in PATH automatically https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/pull/1528

Still getting the same error just updated....

Zeglius•4w ago

Mmm. Suspecting has something to do with the bazzite-cli thingy then Try disabling it to see if it works without it
