error when (auto) removing hepmc output

[andlessa]

Hi,

When setting HEPMCoutput:file = hepmcremove in the pythia8 card, there is an error at the end of the event generation.
I've tracked down the issue and it is caused by the fact that the strings 'removeHEPMC' and 'moveHEPMC@xxx' both contain the substring 'moveHEPMC'.

So at the very end of the run, when calling MadEventCmd.store_result() and 'removeHEPMC' is found in MadEventCmd.to_store, the substring "moveHEPMC" is also found, so the method tries to move the file causing the code to breakdown.

A simple fix would be to replace the 'removeHEPMC' tag by 'deleteHEPMC'.

Cheers,

-Andre

Thanks,

We did receive the following fix for that same issue:
https://github.com/mg5amcnlo/mg5amcnlo/commit/946ca179c544031c6c6d12bde4e7635dbe254a66
and this should be part of the 3.5.0 release.

Cheers,
