Hi! Thanks for the report!

I can't exactly reproduce this, but am attempting to address the general issue in #5596. When that code goes into release we may ping you to re-try.

In the meantime, a workaround should be to make all the files in that directory writable by you:

$ chmod -R u+w /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/eclipse-ide/4.4.0/eclipse
$ brew cask uninstall eclipse-ide

[rolandwalker]

Hi!

#5596 is in release now. You may wish to try

$ brew update && brew upgrade brew-cask && brew cleanup && brew cask cleanup

and see if your problem persists.

@solomatov Was your issue solved by @rolandwalker’s suggestion?

[caiguo37]

Is this the same problem?
