Brew Bundle reports a circular `libtiff, webp` dependency

Page source

Source: Troubleshooting reference

Symptom: brew bundle check refuses to sort its graph even though both current formulae are installed:

Formulae dependency graph sorting found a circular dependency:
  libtiff, webp

Root cause: the installed WebP receipt can retain an old libtiff dependency, while the current libtiff formula depends on WebP. Generated keg receipts are installation records; do not hand-edit them. Reinstalling WebP regenerates its receipt from the current one-way dependency graph:

Terminal window
HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP=1 brew reinstall --build-from-source webp
brew bundle check --file="$HOME/dotfiles/packages/Brewfile"
