Re: Xcode 2.5 and permissions

Since I upgraded to Xcode 2.5 (OS X 10.4.10), a couple of hours ago, I've been getting this when I repair permissions, both in my G5 desktop as well as my MacBook Pro:

-------
Repairing permissions for “Ada”
Determining correct file permissions.
Group differs on ./Private, should be 80, group is 0
Permissions differ on ./Private, should be drwxrwxr-x , they are drwxr-xr-x
Owner and group corrected on ./Private
Permissions corrected on ./Private

Does someone know what's going on?

What's going on is clear:
You installed a package that has a directory named /Private with owner/permission
root admin drwxrwxr-x
which conflicts with the standard system directory /private that has
root wheel drwxr-xr-x

Since you are on a case-insensitive file system, your Repair Permissions program does not distinguish between /Private and /private.

You should try to find out which package installed this strange /Private. Using /usr/sbin/pkgutil and /usr/libexec/repair_packages, or ultimately lsbom, should permit to find the culprit.

I don't have such a package on my Leopard system.
