 macOS 10.12.3 (recently upgraded from 10.12.2 but otherwise a clean
 install of 10.12.2 after wiping a late-2012 AirBook (i7, 2Ghz, 8GB RAM).

 After a successful basic {{{brew install ffmpeg}}} I uninstalled with
 Homebrew and reinstalled using all of the {{{--with}}} options:

 {{{$  brew install ffmpeg --force --with-chromaprint --with-fdk-aac
 --with-fontconfig --with-freetype --with-frei0r --with-game-music-emu
 --with-libass --with-libbluray --with-libbs2b --with-libcaca --with-
 libebur128 --with-libgsm --with-libmodplug --with-libsoxr --with-libssh
 --with-libvidstab --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-opencore-amr
 --with-openh264 --with-openjpeg --with-openssl --with-opus --with-rtmpdump
 --with-rubberband --with-schroedinger --with-sdl2 --with-snappy --with-
 speex --with-tesseract --with-theora --with-tools --with-two-lame --with-
 wavpack --with-webp --with-x265 --with-xz --with-zeromq --with-zimg}}}

 And while Homebrew was in the final stage of {{{==> make alltools}}} I got
 the following error:

 {{{Error: File exists - /usr/local/opt/ffmpeg/.brew}}}

 I did another uninstall, confirmed that the error directory was gone,
 installed again with the same error. Perhaps this is an error on
 Homebrew's part? I have posted a bug report with them but I am at a loss
 as to how to resolve this issue.

 For what it is worth, ffmpeg did get installed:

 }}}

 Of note, the only thing in the error directory is a Ruby file: ffmpeg.rb

 Also of note, the ffplay command was not registered but after running {{{$
 brew unlink ffmpeg && brew link ffmpeg}}} I was able to use the ffplay
 tool.

 Please advise. Thank you.
