[Homebrew] Cask fails to install: `depends_on macos: :catalina` is disabled

OmniGet version

0.9.0

Operating system

macOS (Apple Silicon)

Platform / site that failed

Homebrew (cask tonhowtf/tap/omniget)

Steps to reproduce

  1. brew install --cask tonhowtf/tap/omniget
  2. Homebrew taps the repo, then errors out before downloading anything.
  3. Reproduced on a clean Homebrew setup - no other taps involved.

Expected behavior

The cask should install on macOS 27 (Apple Silicon). The app itself runs fine on current macOS - the only blocker is the cask metadata (depends_on macos: :catalina was disabled by Homebrew with no replacement).

Deleting that single line fixes the install. Full report with the fix: tonhowtf/homebrew-tap#3
