It is from the custom tap felixkratz/formulae and so you have to contact the owner of the tap.

FelixKratz/homebrew-formulae#12 (comment)

Maybe someone else has an idea, but I have never seen someone else report that bug and I can not reproduce.

[gromgit]

I just did a brew install felixkratz/formulae/sketchybar with zero errors, so there's a good chance it's something specific to the OP's system.

@YousufSSyed, are you running an anti-virus or other desktop management suite like Jamf or Kandji? If so, turn it off and try your brew install again.

[YousufSSyed]

Can I uninstall homebrew without uninstall all my packages though?

[YousufSSyed]

I uninstalled Homebrew, restarted, and restarted it and both SketchyBar and SketchyVim installed succesfully.
