[QE-users] Regarding Relaxing atomic positions with version 6.8

[Kondaiah Samudrala]

Dear all,
I am a regular user of Quantum espresso and Recently, I am facing problems
with NSCF and relaxation calculations for standard structures. Below I am
showing you the error and my input
 (Especially, this situation isobserving with version 6.7 and 6.8 onwards)
     WARNING: integrated charge=   304.00358018, expected=   304.00000000
