Repair permissions: go home, you're drunk!

[CaptSaltyJack]

When I repair permissions, I get the following:

Permissions differ on “Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/ConvertID3.nib”; should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x .

Which is saying basically, "Hey! This file I found, it's supposed to be a folder."

I get a whole bunch of those. They're all within /Applications/iTunes.app. Oh, one within Safari.app too.

Why is it saying this? It doesn't make sense.

Do you happen do have 2 copies of iTunes?

Nope. Nothing unusual like that, that I can tell.

Well these permission problems should not be any problems, Repairing permissions is only useful if you actually have a problem with it.
