Running SD on Tiger and copy a Leopard volume

Repair permissions will not work in this case, if the Leopard install was a fresh install and not an upgrade from Tiger.

I am running SuperDuper, latest version 2.6.2 on a Tiger volume. I am trying to copy a Leopard volume to another drive but repair permissions won't work.

I try to repair permissions with DiskUtility and get error "No valid packages".

A search on the Internet gives the solution to copy a file named "BaseSystem.pkg" from the Tiger system over to the Leopard system (the file is in /Library/Receipts).

My suggestion: add a comment to the error pointing to above work around.

But now my question: will I have trouble later on if I leave that file in the Leopard install?

Thanks,

-Martin
