Thanks Deyu Lu - it looks like

1) the converter fhi2ups might have been changed in the last 5 years,
but now things work properly

2) we should remove O.pbe-mt.UPF from the pseudo table, and replace it
with a O.pbe-mt-new.UPF, that is your O.cpi.UPF.

Paolo, what do you think?

As a side comment - wonderful work. This is really precious.
