Q: Disk Utility issue

Hello!

 

I have a problem with Disk Utility: it seems that Permission Repair does not work.

 

Firstly I clicked on "Verify Disk Permissions", then "Repair Disk Permissions" as intended.

 

1.


Verifying permissions for “HD”

Permissions differ on “System/Library/CoreServices/Feedback Assistant.app”; should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are lrwxr-xr-x .

Permissions differ on “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/inde x.html”; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are -rw-r--r-- .

Group differs on “Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist”; should be 80; group is 0.

Repairing permissions for “HD”

Permissions differ on “System/Library/CoreServices/Feedback Assistant.app”; should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are lrwxr-xr-x .

Repaired “System/Library/CoreServices/Feedback Assistant.app”

Permissions differ on “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/inde x.html”; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are -rw-r--r--

Repaired “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/inde x.html”

Group differs on “Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist”; should be 80; group is 0.

Repaired “Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist”


Permissions repair complete


Then, I clicked on "Very Disk Permissions" again and this is what I have seen:

Am I missing something or Disk Utility can't fix this issue? Please help, I have no idea what's going on.
