There must be something amiss in my system, OS X 10.3.9, because when
I perform routine maintenance to repair permissions using Cocktail or
OnyX, both apps have run over one hour without completing the task.
The only way to close the apps is to Force Quit them using Activity
Monitor.
Does anyone have an idea what may be the problem?
I didn't receive any response from listees concerning my Repairing
Permissions problem but learned of a solution nonetheless from Joel
Barriere of OnyX: "It's a known bug of Apple, not OnyX... (this problem
appears also in Disk Utility). Delete iTunes.pkg and iTunes4.pkg files
located in /Library/Receipts/...folder and keep only the iTunesX.pkg.
Then you can repair permissions..."
After following his advice, both OnyX, Cocktail and Disk Utility
(/Applications/Utilities) worked as they should.
