Casks orphaned after upgrade

[craibuc]

I upgraded to new system: brew uninstall --force brew-cask; brew update
I attempted to remove an unused Cask:

$ brew cask uninstall eyetv
Error: eyetv is not installed

The cask is present in /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/eyetv/3.6.5
Attempting to re-install cask:

$ brew cask install eyetv

Results in a second cask located at /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/eyetv/3.6.8_7407

Version:

$ brew -v
Homebrew 0.9.5 (git revision 1b5d07; last commit 2015-12-22)

Yep, it's a known issue

The (admittedly bad) solution at this point is to use the --force flag while uninstalling and clean up old versions from /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/ manually. If you have a list of applications handy, it might be faster to wipe the entire directory and reinstall all of them.

brew cask list is deeply broken - see #14058
