(Whiteboard: [blocker will fix]) 

importing a bug from another installation which was RESOLVED DUPLICATE on the
original installation causes referential integrity problems when it's imported,
since the bug it's duped to (which is stored now) will not exist in the target
database.  RESOLVED DUPLICATE should either be rejected, or changed to RESOLVED
INVALID when the bug is written to the new database.

Is the ID of the duplicate bug one of the fields that is imported?

If so, the statement in the manual that the import XML syntax is the same as
that shown from ctype=xml query against a bug is incorrect as the XML shown in
that scenario does not include the ID of the duplicate bug.
Depends on: 285614

Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
imported bugs having the DUPLICATE resolution are changed to MOVED. The maintainer can then triage them easily. This is fixed by bug 285614.
