dturkel Profile Deployment Failing - Permissions problem
I'm trying to deploy (really transfer) a profile from one environment to another), but I'm getting a permissions error with the "Import Personal Contacts" setting.
The problem is, this profile does not have that permission (Import Personal Contacts) granted, so I'm not understanding the complaint. Does anyone know why? I don't want these users to have Create/Edit Account permissions.

Is there any way to over come this? I think it's not just the error message that is wrong. It should allow deployment if the 'Import Personal Contacts Permission' is 'False'.
The only thing I can think that would work is from another post where they said they:
- Give the profile the following rights on Source-ORG:
Once deployed, remove the above rights from both the SOURCE & DESTINATION ORGS.
Is this the correct next step until resolved?

The restriction is straightforward enough, but it sounds like it shouldn't be happening here. I'll work with you to troubleshoot.
In this case, the profile being deployed was removing the 'create' permission from Account, which the Import Personal Contacts permission (which was set on the profile) depended on.
A bug has been filed to improve the error to point out that it's the loss of Create Account and not any change to the Import Personal Contacts permission.

Yes, that's an appropriate workaround. Feel free to post or contact me if you have any further issues with this.

Well I am facing the exact same issue now. Four years later. Would think it would be fixed by now.
Me too facing the same issue. I have a profile from the sandbox which I want to use to create an exact same replica in the production org. Have modified the profile xml to remove references to object which are not present in the production org. Now I get this error while trying to deploy. I tried deleting the profile on the production org to avoid any sort of permission conflict. But, still I get this error. Would appreciate a quick response to get around this problem if someone has successfully solved this, of late.

If you add the below user permission in your profile metadata, the issue should resolve.
<userPermissions>
<enabled>false</enabled>
<name>ImportPersonal</name>
</userPermissions>
This problem still persists in 2022, and Anugrah Srivastava's answer should be marked as the correct one.
The thing is that when you MUST NOT allow a Profile to access Accounts,
and you DON'T NEED AND DON'T HAVE "Import Personal Contacts" set,
and you pull the setup from the dev org (where you've made it false),
it does NOT end up in your profile.xml as false.
and then the deploy breaks.
It is not "apparent" that "Import Personal Contacts" would be called just "ImportPersonal" in <userPermissions>.
But yes, explicitly adding it to <userPermissions> as false, does solve the problem.
However, it's the profile fetch from the dev org that SHOULD have fixed the profile.xml accordingly in the first place.
Thanks Anugrah.
