brew remove (cask) -> the package path specified was invalid

Hi,
I'm having a problem removing wireshark cask:

% brew remove wireshark
==> Uninstalling Cask wireshark
Password:
Error: Failure while executing; `/usr/bin/sudo -E -- /usr/sbin/installer -pkg /usr/local/Caskroom/wireshark/3.4.8/Uninstall\ ChmodBPF.pkg -target /` exited with 1. Here's the output:
installer: Error - the package path specified was invalid: '/usr/local/Caskroom/wireshark/3.4.8/Uninstall ChmodBPF.pkg'.

% installer -dumplog -pkg /usr/local/Caskroom/wireshark/3.4.8/Uninstall\ ChmodBPF.pkg -target /

Not sure what else I can try

Can you check if the file exists?

[rafalkrupinski]

Yes, it does. I tried moving it to another location and reinstalling, but that didn't help either

So actually it's a symlink to Wireshark.app/Contents/Resources/Extras/Uninstall ChmodBPF.pkg which in turn is a symlink to /Applications/Wireshark.app

I've just installed Wireshark manually and remove it thru brew with success.

Thank you!
