Error: Operation already in progress for gdbm.formula

Hi @staticfloat

On Homebrew#master, there seems to be a problem building your version of glib:

julia> Homebrew.brew(`install staticfloat/juliatranslated/glib`)

Error: Operation already in progress for gdbm.formula
Another active Homebrew process is already using gdbm.formula.

Getting the same issue with Homebrew.jl#master

I ended up here after following through JuliaGraphics/Cairo.jl#271 and JuliaGraphics/Cairo.jl#287.

switching to the default versions of homebrew packages instead of those in the staticfloat/juliatranslated package set and installing them from the command line seemed to be enough to work towards a successful Cairo build

first error

julia> using Cairo

This doesn't address the issue of why the package versions that are installing by default don't work, but hopefully others can work through this solution until a general solution is developed

[aramirezreyes]

Problem persists, had to manually install (using @cjprybol 's trick)

fontoconfig
pango
harfbuzz
cairo
glib

What can we do to help solving the "Another active Homebrew process..." thing, @staticfloat ?
