Error when import solution from dev to test

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 28
I get the following error when importing a managed solution to our test environment.
 
Error code
-
Exception message
An unknown error occurred trying to parse the data description.
Total operation time
50 m 2 sec
Patch
Yes
Managed
Yes
Overwrite customizations
No
 
 
The solution is a solution patch upgrade, a cloned solution made from several patches.
 
The error happens when trying to uninstall the current solution in the target environment.

Anyone have any idea what the error: 
 
An unknown error occurred trying to parse the data description.
 
could possibly mean?
Where do I start trouble shooting?

    So just to answer my own question in case anyone might stumble upon it:

    Try to switch to Classic view in the Solutions area, then import the solution Overwriting Customizations. I think this did the trick in importing the solution successfully.
