Programs no installer packages can be found for this disk el capitan take longer to open and respond, and it's rather annoying. I came to the forums
Error No Installer Packages Can Be Found On This Disk
to seek some remedy, and tried to run a Disk Utility to check that everything there is at least okay. But when repair disk permissions el capitan I click on verify permissions, I get an error that says "no valid packages." Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it (if it needs fixing; I'm assuming this isn't a good thing, whatever it is!). Thanks.

You shouldn't normally remove any files from /Library/Receipts.If the file has been deleted, replace it by copying it from a different computer that uses Mac OS X 10.3 or 10.4, or by reinstalling Mac OS X 10.3/10.4 from an installation disc."Reinstall" means you can install 10.3 or 10.4 from a disc, if it's the same version of 10.3/10.4 (such as 10.3.3 on both the installation disc and computer). If the version of 10.3/10.4 on the computer is newer than what's on the install disc, then use the install disc to perform an Archive and Install installation instead, then update to a later version of Mac OS X.Joe Helpful (1) Reply options Link to this post by lori7302, lori7302 Oct 25, 2006 6:32 PM in response to joeuu Level 1 (0 point

to apple I should never move a file called BaseSystem.pkg (located in /Library/Receipts), which I didnt, but I think the 10.3.9 upgrade did... I checked out the path and the file is not there.... Anyway the 2 fixes are to 1) reinstall panther, which I cant do cuz of freelance deadlines or 2) to copy this file from another machine and put it in /library/Reciepts.
