## Symptoms

- * Policy installation in SmartConsole fails during the compilation stage with this error:

  ```
  
  /opt/.../fw1/tmp/install_policy/<UID>/FW1/lib/table.def", line XXX: ERROR: stab identifier <Parameter Name> for host all redefined
  /opt/.../fw1/tmp/install_policy/<UID>/FW1/lib/table.def", line XXX: ERROR: stab identifier <Parameter Name> for host all redefined
  Error compiling IPv6 flavor.
  Operation ended with errors.
  ```

  Example:
  `/opt/CPsuite-R81.10/fw1/tmp/install_policy/98b5e012-2d98-400b-a940-76dfcd0564fb/FW1/lib/table.def", line 809: ERROR: stab identifier &ltno_hide_services_ports> for host all redefined`
* Loading the policy under debug ("`fwm -d load <Name of Security Gateway Object>"`) on the Management Server ends with:

  ```
  Policy installation is not supported for the target.
  ```

* Output of this command on the Management Server shows multiple lines:

  `grep -i -n <Parameter Name from SmartConsole error> $FWDIR/lib/table.def`

  Example:

  ```
  
  [Expert@MGMT:0]# grep -i no_fold_services_ports $FWDIR/lib/table.def 
  576:no_fold_services_ports  = { <4500,17>, <500, 17>, <259, 17>, <1701, 17> }; 
  577:no_fold_services_ports  = { <4500,17>, <500, 17>, <259, 17>, <1701, 17> };
  ```

## Cause

Duplicate entries in the *table.def* file, possibly due to manual edits done incorrectly.
