Repair

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Compare the two reported rows in fare_media.txt and their references in fare_products.txt.

  2. 2

    If they describe one medium, keep one ID and update its references. If they are distinct, use their actual distinguishing names or types.

  3. 3
    Check the result

    After a repair, rebuild the archive and validate it again. Confirm that the affected records are correct and that no new related notices appeared. A reviewed warning or informational notice may remain when it describes intentional, supported data.
