Description of issue

Brew doesnot sync when MAC OS update is intsalled, Like I have app keepingyouawake installed before update to Mac OS Sequia but after that it got uninstalled by MAC but brew still shows its installed

Brew can only keep track of the actions it performs. If a macOS update removes a cask there is nothing Homebrew can do to prevent or track that.

I think brew only check the Celler or Caskroom path to check the app is installed or not.

> brew --caskroom keepingyouawake
/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/keepingyouawake

if it is really uninstalled, just remove the path /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/keepingyouawake and reinstall it.

Thank you for the help mates, I was thinking if there should be a comand to just scan the Brew inventory and exclude paths those which really doesnot exists, after any upgrade or user uninstall.
