Yup... Disk Utility will only repair permissions on items that have package receipts located in the /Library/Receipts folder.

You should not muck with any of the receipts in that folder. Even if you remove an application... well, technically, you can clean out receipts from deleted applications out of that folder, but I highly recommend against it. Leaving them there does no harm, but accidentally removing a receipt that you shouldn't have will do much harm.
