## Symptoms

- * After upgrading a Security Gateway to R82, policy installation fails.
* Policy installation fails even after updating the Gateway object version in SmartConsole to R82.
* Policy installation fails with: "ERROR: cannot find ' anywhere"

## Cause

During policy compilation, the system references a function `accept_tp_dummy_connection` that is not defined in the *implied_rules.def* file (a file that defines implied firewall rules).  

The generated policy file contains the following section:  

```
deffunc implied_rule_func_95() {
accept_tp_dummy_connection
};
```

If the definition for `accept_tp_dummy_connection` is missing from *implied_rules.def* then compilation fails.
