Constant "reinstalling dependents with broken linkage from source" for php and httpd

[karlshea]

On two different Macs Homebrew is constantly trying to recompile php and httpd when I do a brew upgrade. Example from tonight:

==> Upgrading 3 outdated packages:
mkcert 1.4.3 -> 1.4.4
ruby-build 20220415 -> 20220426
ca-certificates 2022-03-29 -> 2022-04-26
...
==> No outdated dependents to upgrade!
==> Checking for dependents of upgraded formulae...
Disable this behaviour by setting HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALLED_DEPENDENTS_CHECK.
Hide these hints with HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS (see `man brew`).
==> Reinstalling 2 dependents with broken linkage from source:
httpd, php

If I brew remove httpd, brew remove php, brew cleanup, then brew install httpd, brew install php it pours the bottles normally.

These are the only two packages that are behaving this way, is there something I can do to troubleshoot this?

brew doctor

Your system is ready to brew.

If I were to guess, it may be the known apr-util issue:

• php: broken dependency for apr-util causes reinstall homebrew-core#96892
• svn aborts after update to 1.14.2 homebrew-core#99400
• httpd failed to build on macOS 12.3.1 homebrew-core#100189

You can troubleshoot by running brew linkage httpd or brew linkage php when you see this type of issue to find which formula's link is broken.

Once you identify problematic formulae, you might be able to fix issue by brew reinstall ...

In case of apr-util issue, we plan to fix it after merging libxcrypt (Homebrew/homebrew-core#99367) and then rebuilding+distributing revision-bumped apr-util

Looks like that apr fix went in a bit after you posted, and since then I've had no issues with this.
