Google Drive 98.0 update broken (but installs directly from DMG just fine)

[thomaswitt]

@bevanjkay The 98.0 upgrade for Google Dreivedoesn't work - always fails with (manual installation works fine):

==> Upgrading google-drive

installer: Package name is Google Drive
installer: Upgrading at base path /
installer: The upgrade failed.

But when I open the DMG manually and run the installer with the same command directly from the DMG volume, it works fine:

Is there any further information in /var/log/install.log? Quite a few things get logged there so may have to search around for it.

I was unable to replicate this myself, Google Drive updated just fine.
Can you also provide the output of brew config and brew doctor

@bevanjkay Thx for the hint regarding install.log - could have thought about this myself. It seemed the Google Updater was somehow corrupted. After deleting the LaunchDaemons and the Updater itself, it works fine. Sorry for the hassle and thanks for the tip.

[thomaswitt]

@bevanjkay Just FYI for whoever reads that, I keep constantly having trouble with that update. It always fails at

installer:%97.750000
installer: The upgrade failed.

Last time I could solve it via deleting LaunchDaemons, this time that doesn't do the job. Even uninstalling and re-installing fails. Manual install via opening the same DMG and double clicking the installer just works fine. Also command line via

/usr/bin/sudo -u root -E LOGNAME=thomas USER=thomas USERNAME=thomas -- /usr/sbin/installer -pkg /Volumes/Install\ Google\ Drive/GoogleDrive.pkg -target /

straight from the DMG works. But the install after the copy orgy via
/usr/bin/sudo -u root -E LOGNAME=thomas USER=thomas USERNAME=thomas -- /usr/sbin/installer -pkg /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/google-drive/100.0/GoogleDrive.pkg -target /

keeps on failing. I couldn't find out from the logs why it does that, but maybe it would be easier if the installer installs straight from the DMG.

So I stopped using the cask and installed Google Drive manually.

Can you please provide the output of brew config and brew doctor?
It's usually required in the issue template, but opening an issue from a comment bypasses this.
