I just realized that the slipcas around my DVD was not found, however it was not the same as the actual DVD. Take a look at this picture for Terminator: Salvation:

Which one should be added?

This is not all that unusual.  I won't speak to specifically this instance. But, in the past and even today, Slip Covers are usually a limted run. Sometimes they will assign a UPC to the slip, and a different one tyo the keep, then when the Slip supply is exhausted, they re-release the title with a reduced SRP. This has become less common, the concept is still used, since they started cutting out the UPC hole in the slips, but it sometimes still applies.

You don't tell us which UPC you are referring to and multiple UPCs are also possible with each and every title.

I don't know why my image link doesn't work. But it is 5051161256114 for the DVD (which is available in DVD profiler) and 5051161261811 for the case (which is unavailable). Should I clone the first and just change the UPC and tick slip cover?

Two possibilities:
1. The picture isn't flagged as "Public"
2. You used the wrong adress type.
The easiest way to get a picture into this forum is to rightclick onto the picture and choose "Copy Picture Adress" (or equivalent, but not "Link Adress").
In the post editing window now click on , press CTRL + V, click OK -> done.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

There are many DVDs where this happens.

Take the UPC from Slip Cover and add a new profile. (cloning from the esixting is Ok, but I would check the profile)

The link you're trying to use in the image tag is to a web page that displays the image within that web page.  If you link to the actual image file (.jpg) it works as seen below.

Is there any other examples of this? Would the correct way to handle this be to add the slip case as a clone, but as a "boxset" containing the other DVD with the other EAN?

That's what I've advocated, but lots of people seem to dislike this option.

I also do this locally, but according the rules a set with one movie is no boxset.
So don't contribute the box set content to the online database.
