<p>I'm the culprit author of the brave-browser-the-latest script :-)</p>
<p>This script exists because I want to have my browser updated
immediately and not wait for SlackBuilds merge.</p>
<p> I read two issues described in the thread:</p>
<p>1) Prevent running the script if brave if the regular brave
SlackBuild is installed.</p>
<p>2) "<i>brave-browser-the-latest never gets its .deb, and then
attempts to make package but doesn't check this failed rather
than still tries to install it.</i>"</p>
<p> Check if the deb file was correctly downloaded</p>
<p>Maybe the README could also be improved</p>
<p>Anyway I know other slackers are running it from the feedback I
got.</p>
<p>Thanks for using it and for the report. I'll certainly have a
look at it.</p>

I know and never said I did otherwise, and explained as such error
message is solely from brave-browser-the-latest (I do not have
another brave-browser installed). It has nothing to do with
mixing nor 'tags' or other unwarranted or (as if existence of one
SlackBuild would make another not find something) odd assumptions.
Apparently (running brave-browser-the-latest manually) it's
another GitHub outage they've been inaccessible/restricting to git
& curl & wget in areas (reported on several times by
technology news websites) rather than world wide web (WWW)
downloads (which even those are completing less these days)...
