Description

When I duplicate a layer in a GeoPackage, I cannot save that layer back to the same GeoPackage. Instead, I get an error message stating "Export to vector file failed. Error: Cannot overwrite a OGR layer in place." However, if I save the duplicated layer to another GeoPackage, and then save it back into the original one, it works. The issue consistently occurs each time.

To me sounds like is expected. The duplicate layer is not a different datasource from the original one, is exactly the same, just with a another name in the layer tree.
