SYMPTOMS
You create a site in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 by using the Publishing Site template. Then, you perform one of the following procedures:
 * You perform a content deployment to copy content from a source site collection to a destination site collection.
 * You export the contents of the site. Then, you import the contents to another site.

When you do this, you receive the following warning message:

[ ]: Progress: Importing Feature Publishing

[ ]: Warning: Provisioning did not succeed. Details: Failed to create the 'Pages' library. OriginalException: There can only be one instance of this list type in a web.

An instance already exists.

[ ]: Progress: Importing Feature PublishingWeb

[ ]: Warning: Provisioning did not succeed. Details: Failed to create the 'Pages' library. OriginalException: There can only be one instance of this list type in a web.

An instance already exists.

Additionally, when you view the features of the destination site on the Site Features page, you notice that the Office SharePoint Server Publishing feature is not activated.



CAUSE
This issue occurs if you rename the Pages document library of the source site before you export the contents of the site.



MORE INFORMATION
To prevent this issue, do not rename the Pages document library of the source site before you export the contents of the site.

The Pages document library is created by the Office SharePoint Server Publishing feature to store pages that are created in the site.
