Drupal ConfigInstaller creates an exception on installation...

[eguerin-ucsf]

When trying to install Sitefarm_seed on Drupal 8.4.4 a exception is thrown which prevents installation of Profile from continuing. This is a blocking issue.

The exception is thrown on line 492 of core/lib/Drupal/Core/Config/ConfigInstaller.php

if (!isset($profiles[$name])) {
      // Throw an exception if the module being installed contains configuration
      // that already exists. Additionally, can not continue installing more
      // modules because those may depend on the current module being installed.
      $existing_configuration = $this->findPreExistingConfiguration($storage);
      if (!empty($existing_configuration)) {
        throw PreExistingConfigException::create($name, $existing_configuration);
      }
    }

@eguerin-ucsf are you still seeing this issue with 8.6 since the latest patches?

I haven't patched to 8.6 yet because of the previous issues, will try to get to it this week and get back to you.
