there is no single correct permissions.

there are valid reasons for permissions to *not* be what apple thinks
they should be.

Give a concrete example.

When choosing your example, please remember that repair permissions 
applies to Apple system files only.

Well it's not acceptable for you to vaguely hand wave at a huge mass of 
documentation and say "the answer is in there".

If you KNOW the answer is in there, then that implies you've been there 
and seen it.

But the point is moot anyway, because your whole argument about the 
ordering of files in a directory being the only way to determine which 
such succeed which is a strawman.

Wrong again. Repair Permissions applies to anything listed in the receipt
database BOM files, which include third-party applications (not Apple
system files only), as well as Apple applications. In fact a great many
system files are not included in the receipts database.

It's also irrelevant. You have so far been unable to back up your assertion
that permissions are repaired in a certain order with any factual proof
that is the case. You are chock full of FAIL.

That is incorrect. Despite the way it is presented, repair permissions 
has a list of files within it that it will repair.

Actually, the initial claim was someone else's:

That there were no right permissions and you could tell this because 
repair permissions didn't operate in any particular order.

LOL! Which specific part of what I said is incorrect? Pick one:

1. Repair Permissions applies to anything listed in the receipt database
BOM files.

2. BOM files include third-party applications (not Apple system files
only), as well as Apple applications.

3. Many system files are not included in the receipts database.

You haven't negated a single thing I said above. Meanwhile, your
statement that "repair permissions applies to Apple system files only"
couldn't be more wrong.

Obvious typo correction:

2. The receipt database includes third-party applications (not Apple
system files only), as well as Apple applications.

That. The actual software that does the repair keeps a list of strings

"Disk Utility checks a file's permissions only if the file has a
corresponding receipt in /var/db/receipts. The receipt tells Disk
Utility what the permissions should be. Not all installers include a
receipt with the files they install."

<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201560>

And this is *easily* verified by reading all of the available
documentation and observing the tool in action.

But by all means, keep trying, little guy!

Technically, the software that does the repair doesn't place anything in
the receipts database; the installer does that. The software that does
the repair simply scans the database to find out which files and
permissions to set. Either way, Alan Baker is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Nope.

Sorry, but the Repair Permissions utility doesn't use the contents of 
everything in the Receipts folder.

This can be confirmed by using "fs_usage" on the command line:

'But beyond that, only certain receipts are referenced, all of them 
associated with OS-X-related software. This limitation of the Repair 
Disk Permissions function has been debated around the Web, but you can 
confirm it yourself with a bit of Terminal savvy: By using the

fs_usage
command with the appropriate options, you can see exactly which receipt 
files are accessed when the Repair Disk Permissions function runs. The 
following is the list of such receipts on my Mac running Mac OS X 10.4:
AdditionalAsianFonts.pkg

That was certainly what was said: the repair permissions worked with 
every receipt in the Receipts folder.

"Repair Permissions applies to anything listed in the receipt database 
BOM files."

It doesn't.

And? Show where in the documentation it tells you that the BOM files (or
any files on HFS+) have specific ordering?

Yes. We're all waiting for you to do one of those.

Show were it says that because files on disk don't have determinate 
ordering that repair permissions cannot determine their ordering by 
other means.
