Dear Delphes team,

I am trying to generate a Minbias.root file using Pythia8223 in MG5. I have the newest Pythia8 and MG 2.5.2. Using ./DelphesPythia8 cards/converter_card.tcl examples/Pythia8/generatePileUp.cmnd MinBias.root, I am getting this message in the end:

** Exiting...

The Minbias.root file is generated but it is not complete. It only has the Events and particle branches in there.
Hope you can help me in that.

Best,
Amin
