Persistent Disk Utility Errors

[tacorrito]

Ever since I got my rMBP, I've had these two disk permission messages come up. The permissions can be repaired, but always show up again whenever the system is restarted.

Would anyone happen to know what these permissions relate to, and whether it's an issue?

If repairing permissions results in error messages, some of these messages can be ignored and should be no cause for concern.

Mac OS X: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore​

Some people repair, or recommend repairing permissions for situations where it isn't appropriate. Repairing permissions only addresses very specific issues. It is not a "cure all" or a general performance enhancer, and doesn't need to be done on a regular basis. It also doesn't address permissions problems with your files or 3rd party apps.

Repairing permissions: What you need to know
About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature​

Disk Utility repairs the permissions for files installed by the Mac OS X Installer, Software Update, or an Apple software installer. It doesn’t repair permissions for your documents, your home folder, and third-party applications.

You can verify or repair permissions only on a disk with Mac OS X installed.

Does Disk Utility check permissions on all files?

Files that aren't installed as part of an Apple-originated installer package are not listed in a receipt and therefore are not checked. For example, if you install an application using a non-Apple installer application, or by copying it from a disk image, network volume, or other disk instead of installing it via Installer, a receipt file isn't created. This is expected. Some applications are designed to be installed in one of those ways.

Also, certain files whose permissions can be changed during normal usage without affecting their function are intentionally not checked.

There are times when repairing permissions is appropriate. To do so, here are the instructions:

Yes, I checked whether the error messages I had could be safely ignored, but they weren't on the list.

Do these specific messages mean anything important?

I suspect Apple just has not updated that list. Ever since installing Yosemite I see the exact same error messages you are seeing and it has not hurt anything. I wouldn't worry about it.

That wasn't intended to be a definitive list. As it states:
