You might be running into a problem (which I've not seen for a while)
when tic is installing into a database where the "use=3D" links have
changed so that the inheritance flips the parent/child relationship
around, so that it's trying to write a main entry where an alias
exists.

For that, I'd suggest saving off the existing database and recreating it.
