Verification

• My brew doctor output says Your system is ready to brew. and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• I ran brew update and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• I have resolved all warnings from brew doctor and that did not fix my problem.
• I searched for recent similar issues at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues?q=is%3Aissue and found no duplicates.

What were you trying to do (and why)?

Install llvm@19 alongside llvm --HEAD (which resolves to llvm/clang --version 20.x.x)

I already have llvm --HEAD and llvm@18 installed

What happened (include all command output)?

brew install llvm@19

Warning: llvm 19.1.3 is already installed and up-to-date.
To reinstall 19.1.3, run:
  brew reinstall llvm

What did you expect to happen?

Not exactly expect, but I would wish that it installed in the same way llvm@18 did

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

- `brew install llvm --HEAD`  (works, takes a while -> build from source as expected
                               llvm/bin/clang --version returns 20.x.x
                              )
- `brew install llvm@18`      (works, as expected llvm@18/bin/clang --version returns 18.x.x.)
- `brew install llvm@19`      (warning already installed)
- `brew reinstall llvm@19`    (works, as expected llvm@19/bin/clang --version returns 19.x.x.
                               but llvm/bin/clang --version returns 19.x.x now as well
                              )
