Several users are receiving the message "ACL found but not expected" when repairing permissions in Disk Utility after updating to Mac OS X 10.5.2. According to Apple, these messages can be safely ignored. However, a number of users have been able to eliminate the messages by downloading and re-applying the Mac OS X 10.5.2 combo updater.

    I concur - re-applying the 380MB Combo Updater got rid of the ACL message when repairing permissions.

    Reinstalling the Combo updater didn't do a thing for me. I tried it on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro. I still get HUNDREDS of "ACL found but not expected..." when I run Disk Utilities on either machine. I sure wish Apple would fix this.
