Feature Missing Error while Sharepoint Site Import.
Reader Level:

I was trying to import a site to my local environment on blank site (with blank db) and I was facing something strange error which was stating that :
 
FatalError: Could not find Feature "SomeFeatureName".
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.ImportRequirementsManager.VerifyFeatureDefinition(SPRequirementObject reqObj)
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.ImportRequirementsManager.Validate(SPRequirementObject reqObj)
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.ImportRequirementsManager.DeserializeAndValidate()
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.SPImport.VerifyRequirements()
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.SPImport.Run()
 
 
So after getting into some headache and after googling.. I found a way
 
So basically there are some things you need to verify to get this working
 
            1. obviously , you should check the feature to 12   hive location
            2. If feature does not exists there then add feature and installfeature by stsadm.exe command
            3. If feature is already present there then try installing feature forcefully using stsadm and force parameter
            4. most important thing is to check the feature version , feature version on destination should be same as feature

Version on the source (source=from where you exported site)
 
And thats it .. I hope you are done now
