What could be the problem on my machine?

[SMillerDev]

What do you expect brew upgrade * --verbose --debug to do? Because I'm guessing your shell interpreted it as brew upgrade $(ls) --verbose --debug

[StefanLiebig]

My expectation for brew upgrade * is that all appplications will be upgraded. Is that wrong?

The idea for brew upgrade * --verbose --debug is to get more information.

[SMillerDev]

No, that would be a brew upgrade without any argument.

[StefanLiebig]

Thank you!
