Many thanks for the log. It seems to clearly read the files from the hosts/ 
folder first while WPKG 1.2 reads hosts.xml first. I will investigate why this 
happens. And yes, I plan to revert to previous behavior if technically feasible.

Maybe I will not have time today; meanwhile you can still use 1.1.2 or use the 
work-around.

Sorry for any inconvenience,
Rainer
