Description of issue

Hello guys!
Not sure if I'm opening this issue in the right place. If it happens, please let me know and direct me to the right place.
I have macOS on pt_BR (Portuguese-Brazil) language, but, for some reason, the libreoffice-language-pack cask is downloading the en_GB language pack instead of the pt_BR one, as can be seen on brew install cask log.

Also, I believe that the SilentInstall.sh script could run xattr -d com.apple.quaratine /Applications/LibreOffice.app command to remove the quarantine attribute and upgrade the language pack without having to run LibreOffice first, as a non-US user, every time a new upgrade is released to libreoffice and libreoffice-language-pack casks, I have to manually open LibreOffice to run macOS Gatekeeper and run the brew reinstall --cask libreoffice-language-pack command to install the language pack, which difficult to upgrade the package unattended).

Here's my env command output (as can be seen, LANG is pt_BR):

Also, I believe that the SilentInstall.sh script could run xattr -d com.apple.quaratine /Applications/LibreOffice.app command to remove the quarantine attribute

This kind of bypassing of macOS security measures is not something brew wants to support.

I think we are using locale env to get the language, and you can also manually select it by

brew reinstall libreoffice-language-pack --language=pt-BR

Hello @SMillerDev, thank you for your response!
I see. When I first installed the libreoffice cask, I specified the --no-quarantine parameter in the hope it would allow me to install libreoffice-language-pack cask automatically in the future, but this parameter seems to have been removed from Homebrew, and it seems to have no alternative.
I do believe that since the Homebrew cask maintainers are mostly English users, it doesn’t annoy them, but most international users find it a process that sucks because it makes managing this package update an annoyance. Every Homebrew cask updates as expected when running the brew upgrade command, only libreoffice-language-pack does not.
Also, the libreoffice-language-pack cask always requires the brew reinstall command instead of upgrading as a normal cask does - if a new libreoffice cask is released, of course, I want to upgrade the libreoffice-language-pack cask too.

brew reinstall libreoffice-language-pack --language=pt-BR

Hello @daeho-ro,
Here's the output of my locale command:

mac@MacBook-Pro-de-Eduardo Downloads % locale
LANG="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Specifying the --language parameter to brew reinstall command does not seems to fix the issue:

Can you try to uninstall and install again with --language?

Hello @daeho-ro,
When uninstalling the cask:

And install it again with brew install command, it seems to fetch pt_BR language pack as expected:

But running the brew reinstall command after the command above OR after uninstalling the libreoffice-language-pack and reinstalling it again with brew reinstall, the language pack that Homebrew downloads is en_GB, so I do believe that there's some issue with brew reinstall command:

For some reason, reinstall respect the language option at second trial,

brew reinstall libreoffice-language-pack --language=pt-BR
brew reinstall libreoffice-language-pack --language=pt-BR

First one reinstall the current languege and the second one follows the first one.

Maybe this is intended, or maybe not but the purpose of reinstall usually install the previous installation again that is make sense.

Hello @daeho-ro, for me, running the brew reinstall command twice, it always attempts to install the en_GB language pack.
Maybe I have to open an issue at Homebrew/brew repo?

[cho-m]

The issue is caused by a combination of API and concurrent downloads on Casks with language stanzas.

A temporary workaround is to disable one of the features, e.g. HOMEBREW_DOWNLOAD_CONCURRENCY=1 brew reinstall libreoffice-language-pack or re-tap Homebrew/cask.

---

A (not-so-great) code workaround would be to serialize this part of code:

--- a/Library/Homebrew/cask/installer.rb
+++ b/Library/Homebrew/cask/installer.rb
@@ -855,7 +855,7 @@ on_request: true)
       download_queue = @download_queue
       return if download_queue.nil?

-      Homebrew::API::Cask.source_download(@cask, download_queue:) if cask_from_source_api?
+      load_cask_from_source_api! if cask_from_source_api?

       download_queue.enqueue(downloader)
     end

The problem is this will block all concurrent downloads while fetching a copy of Cask file.

Perhaps a proper solution would be to chain tasks (https://ruby-concurrency.github.io/concurrent-ruby/master/file.promises.out.html#Chaining) so that only the above steps are serialized (fetch Cask file -> load_cask_from_source_api! -> download dmg) but it doesn't block the main thread.

EDIT: or move the load_cask_from_source_api! handling into the downloader. Not too sure if either is possible yet.

Hello @daeho-ro and @cho-m

so I do believe that there's some issue with brew reinstall command

In fact, I encountered the same problem with brew upgrade (concerning cask thunderbird).
I guess this can affect any installation of cask that needs to download a different source with respect to the language?

A temporary workaround is to disable one of the features, e.g. HOMEBREW_DOWNLOAD_CONCURRENCY=1 brew reinstall libreoffice-language-pack or re-tap Homebrew/cask.

Yes, defining this env. variable is a perfect workaround.
It solved also the problem with brew upgrade.
