# Error executing query DELETE FROM _duplicator_packages

 * Hi. I created a duplicator package from the old site. I excluded the duplicator
   package tables from the package. (Was that a mistake?)
 * While trying the install on a new server, I get this error message in Step 4:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Error executing query DELETE FROM [duplicated database name]_duplicator_packages WHERE 1 = 1 LIMIT 500. Table '[new database name].[duplicated database name]_duplicator_packages' doesn't exist.
       ```
   
 * In Step 2 under “**Import and Update**“, I’ve tried all combinations of enabling/
   disabling the two options (import and update) for the “[duplicated database name]
   _duplicator_packages” table, but I get the same result each way.
 * Is there anything I can do besides starting over from scratch?
 * Here’s the log file (with specifics redacted):

 * Hi [@hommealone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hommealone/), it would be
   better to create a new package without filtering that table. However, if you 
   want to proceed with the one you already have you should be able to finish the
   installation by entering Advanced Mode and after Step 2 create the mentioned 
   table manually after which continue with the installation.

 * Thanks for your reply! I ended up needing to start over, but then it worked. 
   Much appreciated!
