Q: Can't repair Permissions

Repairing permissions, I note that many permissions in Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/xxx.lproj  are wrong and can't be repair. (Mostly in iTunes but not only. Most are also .iproj)

I try delete un-use language with Monolingual, but all those xxx.Iproj are NOT delete into iTunes and others Apps….

Why ?

How to force to delete them ?

iMac (24-inch Early 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.5), Mountain Lion on other Partition

    Although it’s immensely popular, repairing permissions is a waste of time unless you have a specific indication of a permission error involving system files, which is rare, or a boot failure. It is not a universal rite of healing for computers. It has traditionally spewed bogus warning messages that mean absolutely nothing.

    The built-in help for Disk Utility reads in part:

    If you see an alert or a message that says your permissions are set incorrectly, you can correct the disk’s permissions by clicking Repair Disk Permissions.

    It’s justifiable, though rarely necessary, to repair permissions after running a third-party software installer, as defective installers have been known to damage the permissions of system files.

    You say the permissions are "wrong."

    Most of them are actually notations, not errors.

     

    But at the end of the Repair report, does it say "Permissions complete." 

    Or "Permissions cannot be repaired?"

    It says : Repair Permissions complete.

    But possibly not true since re-checking permissions, same errors permissions are show

    It's maybe not important indeed but still boring.

    They are notations that will be "noted" every time.  They are not "errors,"

    See den.thed's link, above.
