Hi, I just learned that there is a name space conflicts with the new package ea-utils and amule-utils-gui. I know that we are working according to a first comes first served basis and thus ea-utils would be responsible to rename this file. However, I would like to ask you anyway whether there is any chance to deal with this name space conflict from the amule-utils side.
Kind regards Andreas.
