I just reinstalled OS 10.4 after a major file corruption issue. One of the problems I noticed before the crash was that there were no permissions to repair. Disk Utility told me that "there are no valid packages".
So after the reinstall, I brought over most of my apps from a backup disk, rather than reinstalling them from original CDs. Now I still get a "no valid packages" error, even though, according to Apple, the reason for this error is that the BaseSystem.pkg file is missing from the Library/Receipts folder. It's NOT missing. It's right there.
My question is, why am I still getting the 'no valid packages' error even though the BaseSystem.pkg file is there? How do I get rid of this error? Will the continued lack of 'valid packages' contribute to problems and file corruption again?
Thanks.
