Dear QE users,

I wish to calculate dielectric constants and some other related properties.
I am getting following errors. My input file (scf and eps) are attached.
I am using QE-5.0.1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Fermi energy [eV] is: 12.49326
     The system is a metal...

     Performing eps calculation...
