6.0.6. has massive problems when cloning a technique and createing directive from this (see associated reports, e.g. for missplaced resources, ...).
After update from 6.0.6 -> 6.0.9 problems are the same.

UPDATE: still present in 6.1.4

I cloned a technique which contains no resources and no parameters.
Creating a directive from this results in a disabled directive.
After enabling I created an instance from this, which results in "Error during policy updates", details:

Policy update process was stopped due to an error:

To bypass this bug:

- deleted the cloned directive and technique
- put a dummy-file in technique, clone it again
- from this cloned technique you can instantiate a directive
- after this you can delete the dummy-file from technique.
