Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers

with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is

working fine: please don't worry or file an issue; just ignore this. Thanks!


Warning: Your XQuartz (2.7.7) is outdated.

Please install XQuartz 2.7.11 (or delete the current version).

XQuartz can be updated using Homebrew Cask by running:

 brew reinstall xquartz


When I am running Xquartz it correctly reports that it is running version 2.8.1 and is up-to-date. But the above shows that brew is still confused even though brew itself has the 2.8.1 version showing as installed.
