[QE-users] Error in routine gen_at_dj (1): unexpected error in vc-relax calculation with lda+u

Dear QE users,
  I am trying to perform vc-relax calculation with dft+u for Ce doped LaPO4
(Quantum Espresso Version: q-e 5.1.1) and I am getting unknown error after
first scf is completed and program tries to calculate stress and forces. I
am writing the input and part of output file.

Can someone suggest me what is wrong with my input file and help me
correcting it?


Thanks and Regards
