[Pw_forum] q-mesh breaks symmetry

I'd like to calculate phonon frequencies of compound InAs on the 
Wurtzite structure, using the input files that i pasted below, the Scf 
calculation was done normally, however phonons calculation crashes and 
display me this error message on the output file.

 



     This q-mesh breaks symmetry!

     Try to choose different nq1, nq2, nq3

     You can also continue by setting search_sym=.false.

     but be careful because q2r will not work

     Error in routine q_points (1):

     q-mesh breaks symmetry

 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%



When i took (nq1, nq2, nq3)=(4 4 4) it worked, but according to my knowledge when we are on the wurtzite structure nq1=nq2≠nq3. I'd like also to understand how to choose (nq1, nq2, nq3). I really appreciate if anyone can help me to find out the problems.
