Error: SHA256 mismatch with brew install

I tried to install an application with homebrew:

$ brew install poppler

And then towards the end of the installation, I notice the following error:

To retry an incomplete download, remove the file above.

What happened here? Dos this error prevent the application from completing installation?

Solution 1:

I had a similar issue with brew install.

Try running rm ${file_above} && brew install poppler
