Description of issue

I go to remove an unused openssl@1.1, and here is my output. Pay close attention to the directions it gives me at the very end. (Remove /opt/homebrew/etc/openssl@3 ?????) Surely, this is not right.

[~]$ brew uses --installed openssl@1.1

[~]$ brew remove openssl@1.1
Uninstalling /opt/homebrew/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1w... (8,101 files, 18MB)

Hi DougHall,
Thanks for sharing.
I got the same warning message today ... see below.
This is still irritating, at least to me.
Appreciate any feedback here.
Best, Roger
PS: Did you delete all the stuff or the whole ".../etc/openssl@1.1/" directory?

Warning: The following may be openssl@1.1 configuration files and have not been removed!
If desired, remove them manually with `rm -rf`:
  /usr/local/etc/openssl
  /usr/local/etc/openssl@3

It’s been a while since I fixed this, but I essentially uninstalled ***@***.*** and installed ***@***.*** I might have had to uninstall everything that was using the @1 version before uninstalling ***@***.*** At that point, yes, you can uninstall the whole ***@***.******@***.***> directory. Then install ***@***.***, and reinstall everything that uses openssl. This might come in handy: * brew uses ***@***.******@***.***> --installed From: Roger Scholz ***@***.***> Date: Thursday, June 20, 2024 at 4:01 AM To: Homebrew/discussions ***@***.***> Cc: Doug Hall ***@***.***>, Author ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [Homebrew/discussions] Wrong directions?
