[Pw_forum] failure with NCPP

Hai-Ping,

Yes, it looks to me that fhi2upf works fine.  The ncpp2upf works for 
most psps but seems to be broken for the case of having
an augmentation function (like you do).

The 4th occupation # should be zero.  It is just a potential for lmax+1 
which is the local potential and requires no wavefunction to be present.

Hope this helps,

Eric
