Dear all,
I have been trying to carry out the vc-relax of double perovskite
Sr2MgWO6 with cubic Fm3m symmetry. The calculation stops showing the
following error.
"from checkallsym : error # 1
some of the original symmetry operations not satisfied ."
the input file is provided below:

It would be helpful if you can please explain what the error means and
suggest how I can fix it so that I may carry out the phonon
calculations.
