brew update followed by brew upgrade fails for Python's 2to3 conflict (December 2022)
See original GitHub issueDescription
If one has on a job:
brew update
brew upgrade
the job fails with error:
==> Upgrading python@3.10
3.10.8 -> 3.10.9
==> Pouring python@3.10--3.10.9.big_sur.bottle.tar.gz
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink bin/2to3
Target /usr/local/bin/2to3
already exists. You may want to remove it:
rm '/usr/local/bin/2to3'
To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
brew link --overwrite python@3.10
To list all files that would be deleted:
brew link --overwrite --dry-run python@3.10
Possible conflicting files are:
/usr/local/bin/2to3 -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/2to3
/usr/local/bin/idle3 -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/idle3
/usr/local/bin/pydoc3 -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/pydoc3
/usr/local/bin/python3 -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/python3
/usr/local/bin/python3-config -> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/python3-config

Any chance to have it fixed in the image? All was working before, I wouldn’t want to use any workarounds.
I’ve transferred the issue to the actions/setup-python repo as the most relevant place.
