Hi all, I'm a rookie with Casper, so I apologize in advance if I don't make sense.

I have updated a machine to MacOS Sierra Beta. Ever since then, when trying to run self-help it fails when trying to initiate fixing the permissions and says 'Cannot Install Item'.

After some research, it appears that Apple has removed the ability to fix permissions. You can no longer run: sudo /usr/libexec/repair_packages --repair --standard-pkgs --volume /

The 'repair_packages' no longer exists.

Any ideas?

Lets start with the basis...what Jamf Casper version are you using?
