[G4] No Valid packages?

[Jerry Bunn]

Funny you should mention that.  As a matter of fact I did just that.  
After reading March 2004 issue of MacHome and their article about 
Spring Cleaning, on page 34 it talked about "Tossing out Unnecessary 
Folders".  And it stated, "...there is at least one folder you can 
empty.  MacintoshHD>Library>Receipts.  This folder contains installer 
packages that are no longer of use."  So following directions I emptied 
that.  Not that it was taking huge hard drive space.
What a sap I am.

Now I need to find out how to restore them I guess.
