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: Putting non-prefixed findutils in your path can cause python builds to fail.

Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar.
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause formulae that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:
  [email protected]

Warning: Homebrew's "sbin" was not found in your PATH but you have installed
formulae that put executables in /usr/local/sbin.
Consider setting your PATH for example like so:
  fish_add_path /usr/local/sbin

Description of issue

I have [email protected] installed as a dependency. Because I started using uv to manage Python on my system, I manually unlinked it with brew unlink [email protected].

However, when [email protected] upgraded from 3.13.3 to 3.14.4 today, it relinked itself. How can I permanently unlink a dependency?

[SMillerDev]

There is no way to permanently unlink formulae. The recommended solution here is to put the python from uv as the first entry in the PATH. That way your shell will pick up the python from uv rather than the Homebrew one.
