The current "python2-eyed3" already contains the "python-eyed3", so I assume
that the "cannot overwrite package" error means you can't upload another
pkgbase which contains the same pkgname as an existing one.
Try removing pkgname=python-eyed3 from pkgbase=python2-eyed3, then upload the
new package, then submit a merge request from the old one onto the new one.
