Just the other day, I had an iMac issue resolved by a AskDifferent member, but part of the solution pushed me to go from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5. I am locked to 10.8, due to applications I use that are dependent on it, but I felt it was a good idea to finally take it to the last update of 10.8, which is 10.8.5. I did it through the 10.8.5 combo installer versus the app store updater. I also installed the latest security updates. Now, I'm trying to install the Supplemental update for 10.8.5 and I'm getting an error message. Here it is:
Any idea what's going on here? Much appreciated.

As the dates on the pages for both the Combo & Supplemental updates are identical, the chances are the Supplemental may have been later rolled into the Combo. The Supplemental was released on 3 Oct 2013, which is the last modified date on both pages.
Check About this Mac > system report > software [names may be slightly different, I've not seen 10.8 in a while]
10.8.5 should show build number 12F37, the Supplemental 12F45 in brackets after the System Version.
Initial research done using Wikipedia : OS X Mountain Lion
After comments & further research, Build 12F25260 is a specific build for iMacs with NVidia GPUs & does include the Supplemental update.
