$ brew install mongodb-community@4.4

It returns:

Error: Failure while executing; `tar --extract --no-same-owner --file /Users/frankline/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/302d48e748531e0994cd7b3caf9bc7069ec6c132b710dc1bb8e33b725495056e--icu4c-69.1.big_sur.bottle.tar.gz --directory /private/tmp/d20210613-34193-g4tpe7` exited with 1. Here's the output:

I got the same problem when I executed brew upgrade. It returns:

Here is my solution: first install the dependency, i.e., brew install gdbm and then upgrade. Hope this can solve your problem.

brew install "dependency" and brew upgrade worked for me! The specific dependency in my case was pcre2, not --gdbm as above.
