The problem come from the owner of the directory /usr/local. Nothing more and the command sudo chown $(whoami):admin /usr/local is enough (without -R)

I had success following these instructions: https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/issues/49879

In summary these two commands:

sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local
cd $(brew --prefix) && git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/master

Should fix it.
