Homebrew: "KeyError: 'pop from an empty set'" for tap

[cdayjr]

Summary

When I try and installTheZoraiz/ascii-image-converter/ascii-image-converter with or without tap prefix, I get a "KeyError: 'pop from an empty set'" error.

Before 10.3.0 I was able to install it without the tap prefix.

Before 10.2.0 I was able to install it with the full path.

Seems related to #9546, #9533, #9255, and #9240

Steps to Reproduce

Playbook with prefix:

# vi:syntax=yaml.ansible
---
- name: Setup
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  become: false
  tasks:
    - name: Check version of community.general
      ansible.builtin.debug:
        msg: "community.general version {{ lookup('community.general.collection_version', 'community.general') }}"
    - name: Install ascii-image-converter
      community.general.homebrew:
        name:
          - TheZoraiz/ascii-image-converter/ascii-image-converter
        state: present

---

Playbook without prefix (may need to install tap first, not sure off the top of my head):

# vi:syntax=yaml.ansible
---
- name: Setup
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  become: false
  tasks:
    - name: Check version of community.general
      ansible.builtin.debug:
        msg: "community.general version {{ lookup('community.general.collection_version', 'community.general') }}"
    - name: Install ascii-image-converter
      community.general.homebrew:
        name:
          - ascii-image-converter
        state: present

Expected Results

I expect it to install properly like it did before 10.2.0

Actual Results

Thanks for the clear bug report @cdayjr, will have a look this week. Probably related to tap handling indeed. Sorry for the churn

[cdayjr]

No worries @UnknownPlatypus, thanks for jumping on it.
