I recently installed Leopard and performed all the updates. After, I installed a bunch of third party apps and decided it might be a good idea to repair my disks permissions. So I open up Disk Utility, click the drive, and then choose "Repair Disk Permissions." Now, it doesn't seem to do anything. It says "Repairing Permissions. Estimated time less than 1 minute" and the progress bar doesn't go anywhere. I wait and wait and nothing happens, so I cancel it and it says "Stopped by user" "Permissions repair complete". Any ideas here?
Got a tip for us?

I don't think you need to verify first, but yeah it does the same thing
Are you sure? Ill try it out
Well would you look at that... hes absolutely right! Thanks OzExige!! Kind of lame it does that...
I get the same thing here. I think it's been a bug since Leopard was released. It will probably be addressed in the next major update, seeing how they keep talking about the significant amount of fixes. Can't wait to see that list.
