Permissions repair complete"

I have erased HD and made a clean install with jut the 10.5.8 update, ran software update and voila... All error are intact again.

It seems that this is an apple Problem. ¿Can anyone confirm?

17" Intel MBP late 2006

Here is one older comment but still quite valid and there is quite a bit of info out there on this - have a read then see what u think - Unsanity.org: Exercises in Futility Part 2: Repairing Permissions is Useless

Whilst disagreeing with the rant here is what Apple has to say:-

Mac OS X 10.5: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore

Thanks Harry, a much better link. While i accept that that Fixing Permissions is not Useless I feel in some quarters it is overrated as a general fix-all.

If one can safely ignore them... WHY APPLE DOES NOT FIX DISKREPAIR TO IGNORE THEM ?
