 * I have been using this plugin for years to create development instance of client
   sites as well as deploying developed sites.
 * This latest version seems to not be creating the database correctly. The symptoms
   I am seeing is that when I try to save the permalinks, I get the installation
   screen and the wrong theme is activated.

 * None of the WordPress tables other that the duplicator tables are being imported.

 * Same problem here, only “wp_duplicator_packages” and “wp_term_relationships” 
   are installed.

 * Gotta love WordPress.
 * The default collation on the source database is utf8mb4_unicode_ci which is not
   supported on my dev MySQL instance. Have to change that some day. This was set
   by the wp install. Why it shouldn’t use something more general like utf8_general_ci
   or let it go to the default which is utf8_swedish_ci.
