brew cask outdated showing old versions of renamed casks as latest

[wickles]

Description of issue

After brew updateing today, Casks that have been renamed are showing old versions as newest version when running brew cask outdated.

I realize I can just delete the outdated casks, but this never happened before today and could be confusing to users not familiar with the issue detailed in #29716.

Command that failed

> % brew cask outdated --greedy
google-play-music-desktop-player (4.1.1, 4.2.0, 4.4.0, 4.4.1) != 4.3.0
gpgtools (2017.1) != 2016.10_v2
macupdate (6.1.9, latest) != latest
macupdate-desktop (6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.5, 6.1.6, 6.1.7, 6.1.8, 6.1.9) != 6.1.4

(removed lines not relevant to issue)

Relevant cask renames:

google-play-music-desktop-player -> marshallofsound-google-play-music-player (not installed)
gpgtools -> gpg-suite (not installed)
macupdate-desktop -> macupdate

Cask gpgtools installs files under /usr/local. The presence of such

but this never happened before today

Might be related to Homebrew/brew#4072. @reitermarkus

Renames should be: ...

Not sure I understand what this means?

Not sure I understand what this means?

Just noting how the casks were renamed. Not especially important.

[commitay]

This is only an issue because somehow there are multiple versions of each in /Caskroom/* when there shouldn't be. Not sure how would have happened.

Closing as this doesn't need to be fixed if it only impacts multiple copies in /Caskroom.

[wickles]

That is the expected behavior for Caskroom leftovers from before brew cask upgrade was implemented (see #9586), or for those of us avoiding brew cask upgrade for whatever reason (e.g. #42112, a followup or reopen there would be helpful btw).

[commitay]

a followup there would be helpful btw

#42112 (comment)

[commitay]

That is the expected behavior for Caskroom leftovers from before

We aren't going to fix something that isn't a problem with the current implementation.
