[Koha] Duplicate authorities on dataload

[Mike McCormack]

Hi all,
 
I am converting some bibs and authorities from another system into koha and I have ended up with duplicate authorities on the koha database. I wonder if someone could point out where I went wrong or if koha is behaving as designed:
Here are the steps I followed:
 
1.      Loaded a file of 6,500 Marc Bib records using bulkmarcimport.pl
2.      Rebuilt the Zebra index -b
3.      Loaded a file of Authorities using bulkmarcimport.pl – As an example, this file contains 6 authority records for “Pullman, Philip”
4.      Rebuilt the Zebra index -a
5.      Ran link_bibs_to_authorities.pl
6.      When I check the personal name authorities there are 6 “Pullman, Philip” entries, all linked to 0 bibs
 
Do I have to dedup the authority file before I import it (not an easy task)?
 
Any help would be appreciated
 
Mike
