[PR #8406/43cb5a0d backport][stable-9] Fix the homebrew module failing because of warnings (#8425)

Fix the homebrew module failing because of warnings (#8406)

Instead of checking if there is an error message, which can also be a
warning, we now check the return code.

This commit fixes #8229 #7044
