I didn't know the team does not maintain the Formula.

FYI: I could install Quarto 1.6.40 using brew w/o problems.

The Quarto team maintains the assets: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/releases/tag/v1.6.40

If you use something else it's unlikely maintain by the Quarto team (there are very few exceptions).

I don't know what is happening on my side. Which version of brew do you use?

I see. I don't have any repo config on my machine, and the source looks right.

All of a sudden, it works now. One thing I did was download the pkg from the above link and install it manually. Then, the upgrade worked. 🤷🏾
