I get an error message informing me that

I told George that he had "no valid packages", and he agreed, but we'd
still like to have his Mac run smoother.
Suggestions appreciated.
Repairing Permissions rarely does any good
Cliff, repairing permissions only fixes… permissions. It does not make
things "run smoother."
When George tries to access something that he should be able to access,
but cannot, then it is time to repair permissions.
Packages are stored in /Library/Receipts, it might be worth taking a
look to see if the folder contains any packages (.pkg) or not. Perhaps
they've been deleted along the way by someone who decided that they did
not need "receipts".
