I would say that a package manager shouldn't break the runtime dependencies of your installed programs. That's really a poor design. But you can also just copy the previous version into the new readline directory. cp /usr/local/Cellar/readline/7.0.5/lib/lib*.7.dylib /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/ Although this will break with the next readline update.

That only works if you have the previous version on your machine, which we did not.

  But then that package you wanted to install was not a Homebrew package? Otherwise the dependency management in Homebrew is even worse than I knew.
