OSX Lion - cannot remove imagick - homebrew

I am trying to remove imagick, it's installed via brew.
If I run brew remove imagick or brew uninstall imagick, I get
Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/imagick
How to fix it? Google didn't really help me.

Try to run
brew doctor
and follow the instructions. Hope that will fix it.

After that I used $ brew update of which everything is up-to-date.
So after that I used $ brew doctor which returned

Can anyone help with this issue?
Simply run:
brew uninstall paste
You're getting the error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/pastewhenbrew uninstall Past because there are no brew formulae installed or in the official Homebrew repository named paste.
brew install paste
Error: No available formula with the name "paste"
I guess you've installed it using cask:
brew cask install paste
If you try to uninstall it using brew you'll get that error:
brew uninstall Paste
Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/paste
To uninstall paste simply use brew cask instead:
brew cask uninstall paste

brew install rbenv Error: rbenv-rbenv already installed To install this version, first `brew unlink rbenv`

I am trying to install rbenv on OS X by following instruction from site link - setup ruby on macbook
when I try brew install rbenv I get below error
Error: rbenv-rbenv already installed To install this version, first 'brew unlink rbenv'
Here is the output from brew doctor
brew doctor
Your system is ready to brew.
I tried brew unlink rbenv on which fails with message Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/rbenv
Please suggest how this can be solved.
I have tried all solutions as listed below
brew update
brew prune
brew link rbenv
nothing really works
This, I was able to solve by thrashing all the junk files and folders related to rbenv still existing in the system; as brew link rbenv wasn't working
Use command below to find any rbenv files/folder still existing in the system.
sudo find /user/ -name "*rbenv*"
most of the issues could be because /usr/local/opt may still have folders related to rbenv
then carefully remove any listed files/folder using command
sudo rm -r <folder-listed-in-result-of-above-command>
then try brew install rbenv, follow any output from this command (which may suggest brew unlink rbenv && brew link rbenv) and you should be good to go.
I do not recommend file/folder thrashing this way as it could be risky however, to be frank, this is only what worked for me.

Why can't brew find a specific known formula?

I'm trying to install bazel on my mac (10.11.5).
I can see that it is available through brew:
http://braumeister.org/formula/bazel
But when I run "brew install bazel", I get this:
Error: No available formula for bazel
Searching formulae...
Searching taps...
Why is this?
In my case, Homebrew was already up-to-date after running brew update and I still received the same error messages as the OP when trying to install xdebug:
$ brew update
Already up-to-date.
$ brew install php70-xdebug
Error: No available formula with the name "php70-xdebug"
Using Mark's suggestion from the comments on OP solved the problem:
$ brew search xdebug
homebrew/php/xdebug-osx homebrew/php/php70-xdebug
So now, running $ brew install homebrew/php/php70-xdebug, Homebrew found and installed the package.
You should update your brews, because it is indeed available. Run
brew update
brew install bazel
and then it should work.

Homebrew PHP5.6 memcached installation error

I'm trying to install the memcached extension for PHP 5.6 via Homebrew.
brew install php56-memcached
The error I get is
Error: No such file or directory - /usr/local/opt/igbinary/include/igbinary.h
I've tried reinstalling php56-igbinary and php56 itself. Neither fixes this problem. I tried to locate any files named igbinary.h and could not find any on the computer. How do I fix this?
You try remove and reinstall these pakage
brew remove php56-igbinary php56-memcached
brew reinstall php56 --enable-maintainer-zts --build-from-source php56-igbinary --build-from-source php56-memcached --build-from-source
Worked for me with php56-redis with the same error message.
brew reinstall --enable-maintainer-zts --build-from-source php56-redis
php56-igbinary is used from installation location when installing from source

brew install gfortran Error: You must `brew link gmp' before gfortran can be installed

I tried installing gfortran using homebrew before I needed to install pythonbrew. I need pythonbrew to install and use the misopy package on my iMac. I keep getting this error when I want to install gfortran:
> brew install gfortran
Error: You must `brew link gmp' before gfortran can be installed
I tried reinstalling gmp using homebrew in mac and this did not help. Can someone help me in this regard?
Ok, I solved the problem. I did not completely remove the swig/gfortran/libpng files and their dependecies. If this information helps others installing pythonbrew and python 2.7 in mac.
I followed this guys instruction to start with in first place:

Do not mind his swearing I can understand where that comes from! :-)
