Repair Packages
My computer has recently been running repair_packages by itself. Is this a problem, and if so, how would I fix it?

Apparently, you've tried to open a dmg file and the machine's caught in a loop. Open the Console app in /Applications/Utilities/, show all logs, click on All messages, do a string match for repair_packages, which is used by Disk Utility to verify or repair permissions on installed packages, and see what it's trying verify or repair.
