Very bad. Either you have a HD problem or corrupted receipts files or both. Or... perhaps more likely, as there are other reports of permissions issues after installing 10.5.8 (see macfixit, etc)... Apple has farked the receipts linkage for this update. Remember please that repairing permissions is the ancient fix to an ancient OS X 10.0/.1/.2 problem.... The real solution is to simply not do it. I'm loathe to read thru the whole 608 KB log you posted... Please take look in your /System/Library/Extensions/ folder to see if it actually changed the permissions. If it did, you might want to manually change them back IF you have any problems. (Having to change all those back might better be left alone for now, if you're not seeing any problems. Wait until Apple fixes this). That giant log... In the future, please zip such items and just post a url for those that want to download 'em. I love to use Dropbox for this type of thing!.
