Since I upgraded to Xcode 2.5 (OS X 10.4.10), a couple of hours

Group differs on ./Private, should be 80, group is 0

Does someone know what's going on?

Its pretty simple, and entirely harmless. Basically, some developer
mis-capitalised /private. Since UNIX is case-sensitive, it does not
see /Private and /private as being identical, despite the fact that
HFS+ is case-insensitive and /PriVaTE is the same as /prIvaTe is
the same as /private...
But, it doesn't matter since this is neither an error nor a
problem. You will never get any misbehaviour from this.

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
Thank you both! I should have known better and take a look into /
Developer, since I myself said this happened _after_ I upgraded to
Xcode 2.5: indeed, there is a /Developer/Private directory. As you
might easily guess, I don't use Xcode myself, but some packages and
distributions ask that you have developers tools installed.
Best and thank you again.
