[Pw_forum] Problem about occupation number in elph calculation

[flying_lw at yeah.net]

Dear Quantum Espresso users,
I am using QE v 5.0.2 to calculate the Tc of MgB2. The job is done normally, but I got one problem when  I cheked the output file mgb2.elph.out. The occupation numbers of some k points are 'NaN'. I did the same job using QE v 5.1, all the 'NaN' become '0.0000'. I'm not sure what is happening. Will this cause something wrong in the final results?
Part of the output file is as below:

 I have attached the input and output files. Thank you for your help.
