Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers
with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
working fine: please don't worry or file an issue; just ignore this. Thanks!

Warning: Some installed casks are deprecated or disabled.
You should find replacements for the following casks:
  electorrent
  font-ibm-plex

Warning: Some installed formulae are deprecated or disabled.
You should find replacements for the following formulae:
  icu4c@77
  python@3.9

Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar.
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause formulae that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:
  ruby

Warning: The following taps are not trusted:
  amiaopensource/amiaos
  bufbuild/buf
  charmbracelet/tap
  clementtsang/bottom

Homebrew is currently ignoring formulae, casks and commands from these taps because tap trust is required.
Prefer trusting only the specific formulae, casks or commands you need.
Trust installed formulae from these taps with:
  brew trust --formula amiaopensource/amiaos/decklinksdk
  brew trust --formula charmbracelet/tap/crush
  brew trust --formula dr-emann/tap/applesauce
  brew trust --formula finnvoor/tools/fx-upscale
  brew trust --formula homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg
  brew trust --formula lescanauxdiscrets/tap/zvbi
  brew trust --formula powershell/tap/powershell
  brew trust --formula rsteube/tap/carapace
  brew trust --formula sandreas/tap/m4b-tool
  brew trust --formula tabbyml/tabby/tabby
Trust other specific casks and commands with:
  brew trust --cask <user>/<tap>/<cask>
  brew trust --command <user>/<tap>/<command>
Whole-tap trust is broader and includes all current and future formulae,
casks and commands from the listed taps. Trust whole taps with:
  brew trust amiaopensource/amiaos bufbuild/buf charmbracelet/tap clementtsang/bottom dr-emann/tap finnvoor/tools greymd/tools homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg lescanauxdiscrets/tap owenthereal/upterm pkgxdev/made powershell/tap rsteube/tap sandreas/tap tabbyml/tabby yt-dlp/taps

Warning: Homebrew's "sbin" was not found in your PATH but you have installed
formulae that put executables in /opt/homebrew/sbin.
Consider setting your PATH for example like so:
  echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/sbin:$PATH"' >> /Users/balupton/.bash_profile

Verification

• I ran brew update twice and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• My "brew doctor output" above says Your system is ready to brew or a definitely unrelated Tier message.
• This issue's title and/or description do not reference a single formula e.g. brew install wget. If they do, open an issue at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/new/choose instead.

What did you expect to happen?

if version (latest version) is not the same as installed (currently installed version) then I would expect outdated to be true - perhaps my assumption here is wrong

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (running brew commands)

see earlier

[balupton]

it seems it may also be affecting a fair few, perhaps it is those with auto_updates enabled - going to debug further, if that is the case, I'll close

[balupton]

yeah, that is what it is, okay nevermind
