What you were trying to do (and why)
I have ffmpeg installed from Homebrew core, and I have a new tap pinned:
brew tap varenc/ffmpeg
brew tap-pin varenc/ffmpeg
I want to re-install ffmpeg from this tap, using additional options, using brew reinstall ffmpeg [options].
What happened (include command output)
I run a reinstall command (since just running install tells me that the formula is already installed, obviously):
➜ brew reinstall ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-openssl --with-srt
Warning: ffmpeg is provided by core, but is now shadowed by varenc/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.
To refer to the core formula, use Homebrew/core/ffmpeg instead.
==> Reinstalling ffmpeg
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/ffmpeg-4.1.1.high_sierra.bottle.tar.gz

==> Pouring ffmpeg-4.1.1.high_sierra.bottle.tar.gz
🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/4.1.1: 282 files, 59MB
However, ffmpeg got installed by pouring the bottle from Homebrew core instead of building from the tap. Since brew warns me about the tap shadowing the main formula, this is very counterintuitive..
What you expected to happen
I expected brew to either:
- install the correct formula from the pinned tap, with all the options, and not pour the bottle from Homebrew core, or
- error out, saying that I still have the formula from Homebrew core installed, and that I first need to uninstall it
I can successfully build from the tap if I first uninstall the existing formula:
➜ brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies ffmpeg
Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/4.1.1... (282 files, 59MB)
Taps/varenc/homebrew-ffmpeg on master
➜ brew install ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-openssl --with-srt
Warning: ffmpeg is provided by core, but is now shadowed by varenc/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.
To refer to the core formula, use Homebrew/core/ffmpeg instead.

Warning: "config" scripts exist outside your system or Homebrew directories.
`./configure` scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if
software packages are installed, and what additional flags to use when
compiling and linking.
Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via
Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew provided
script of the same name. We found the following "config" scripts:
/Users/werner/.pyenv/shims/python3.6m-config
/Users/werner/.pyenv/shims/python-config
/Users/werner/.pyenv/shims/python3-config
/Users/werner/.pyenv/shims/python3.6-config
Warning: Unbrewed .pc files were found in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.
If you didn't put them there on purpose they could cause problems when
building Homebrew formulae, and may need to be deleted.
