Problem with ggF

Asked by Pablo Candia

Dear developers,

I want to calculate the LO contribution to gluon fusion by means of the madloop library. I used the command

generate p p > h [QCD],

which generates the expected process and diagrams. However, when I try to create an output I get the following error

Command "output GGF" interrupted with error:
TypeError : unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'int' and 'NoneType'

The debug file shows the following:

Can you retry from a clean version of 2.6.1?
My feeling is that this might be an issue with the auto-update.

Thanks (and sorry for that)

Olivier
