I am having this issue also specifically when importing a profile for PETG.

I have this same issue. Can't import my PETG profile. Hopefully we find a solution.
I'm having the same issue... so glad I didn't blow out my previous installs. I got jobs to get out... See my topic "Why is Cura a Pain to Upgrade?"

Sorry, but this has nothing to do with upgrading at all.
Anyhow; What is going on is that each machine can define a set of qualities that it supports. If you create a profile, you basicly create a "delta" profile (eg; Take the 'draft' profile and apply these changes to it). As such, that profile is tightly coupled with the profile it was based on.
If you try to load that profile on a different printer and that printer does not have that quality type, it can't apply that profile (because it doesn't exist for that printer!)

I was having issue doing this with my Ender 3 but what happened is that i chose the Ender 3 premade printer when the instructions i was using had said to make it a generic FFF printer. When i did that it worked. Looking deeper into it, I believe it was a miss match caused by the definition in the cura profile. The file had
definition = fdmprinter
I tried updating it to:
definition = creality_base
but I started getting a different error so i'm just going to remove the prebuilt printer and keep it generic. Hopefully that helps someone here.
