CRIMA1151E ERROR: The “core.feature” feature cannot be found in package

While running a command line install of WebSphere Liberty Profile 8.5.5, we get the following error reported by IBM Installation Manager.

[root@localhost tools]# ./imcl install com.ibm.websphere.liberty.BASE.v85_8.5.5000.20130514_1313,core.feature,liberty,com.ibm.sdk.6_64bit -installationDirectory /var/apps/was8.5.5_LP -sharedResourcesDirectory /var/IM/im-shared -repositories /var/apps/installs/WAS_Liberty_8.5.5 -acceptLicense -showProgress -log /var/log/ibm/install/was8.5.5_LP.xml -preferences com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.keepFetchedFiles=false,com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.preserveDownloadedArtifacts=false

CRIMA1151E ERROR: The “core.feature” feature cannot be found in package com.ibm.websphere.liberty.BASE.v85 (IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty 8.5.5.0).

Reason:

This error occurs when you are using a WAS 8.5.5 Liberty Profile download, and so since you do not have a full version of WAS as well, you cannot install the core feature, so remove this element and re-issue the silent imcl command line.
