When I enter a remap command as per [Change the domain name or rename your Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/change-the-domain-name-or-rename-your-discourse/16098), I’m getting this error whenever a topic contains a quote from another topic:

> Error: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint “unique\_post\_links”  
> DETAIL: Key (topic\_id, post\_id, url)=(265, 33103, [https://my.forum.url/t/my-topic-name/2025/35](https://my.forum.url/t/my-topic-name/2025/35)) already exists.  
> The remap has only been partially applied due to the error above. Please re-run the script again.

This situation occurs when posts containing a quote are split off into a different topic, or if they have been deliberately made.

If I permanently delete the offending topic or remove the quote reference manually, it is all good. But that isn’t really feasible.
