I can't repair permissions on OSX.2.8
Disk Utility actually finds much that needs to be fixed but after each error it finds is the message "permissions not repaired. reason, operation not permitted."
I have never seen this behavior before. Can anyone help. There are three accounts on the system. All are set up as admin. This happens under all three accounts.
This problem can occur under Jaguar (not Panther). Disk Utility itself has incorrect permissions, which will prevent you from repairing permissions on your disk.
As a piece of info for people who find this when searching, if you delete the pkgs out of /Library/Receipts, you can't repair permissions. This is unrelated to the issue at hand, though.
