Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.This happened in the following conditions:
1.) Site originally used taxonomy. Simplenews was installed and a newsletter vocab created with one newsletter term
2.) Category module was installed, both the wrapper modules enabled, cat_legacy enabled and the import done *without* turning off simplenews module. All legacy paths and aliases were redirected.
Screenshot attached.

venkat-rk commentedI forgot to add that the fixes provided in this thread were applied (#0, #6 and #12).
I may be wrong, but I doubt if this issue has anything to do with those patches. I have experienced the same bug before, I just didn't submit it. If I turn off the simplenews module before importing, duplicates are not generated.
Comment #2
venkat-rk commentedThe containers (Newsletter) were generated at the same time, as the timestamp in this screenshot shows.
Comment #3
venkat-rk commentedIn the previous screenshot, the top link points to node/8, the middle one (the actual newsletter) points to node/7 and the bottom, to node/6
Comment #4
venkat-rk commentedMore confirmation about the duplicate containers on the admin/node page
Comment #5
venkat-rk commentedWhen I tried to delete the additional container that had been created, a new node (and an alias) was created although category prints out a message that the node was deleted.
This happened twice- the original node I tried to delete was node/8 (node/9 was the newsletter term beneath it). Node/10 was then created with an alias and when I tried to delete that, node/11 was created.
Something in either the wrapper module or cat_legacy isn't working right.
Comment #6
venkat-rk commentedI tried deleting the containers from the admin/node page, but with the same results- a new node (container) and an alias was created. The category (newsletter term) was deleted fine.
Comment #7
venkat-rk commentedIt's the wrapper module !!
I temporarily uninstalled it, went to admin/category/list/outline and deleted node/12, the newly created container. And it worked.
Moving this issue to the correct component.
