Apologies, have been away. I hope I have extracted the relevant points from this thread. For the record, the CCP4 library also uses the symops to determine the spacegroup, when it can. Hence the observation below that mtzdmp and refmac find the right spacegroup. However there are plenty of cases

Using the symmetry operators as the definitive source of space group information, rather than the name or number of the space group, is the only completely safe approach, and I am pleased to see that CCP4 now does this. SHELX has worked this way since 1970, though in a moment of weakness I allow

2009-06-11 Thread Kevin Cowtan
Not sure if this is relevant, but all clipper programs (and I think all programs wince 6.0) take the symmetry operators as the source for the spacegroup rather than the spacegroup symbol. So I would expect changing the spacegroup number or symbol would not affect most programs in any way. It

Then it's clear what the problem is: whichever program created your file put the wrong space group number in (or copied it from an input file). For I2 it must be '4005' not '5', no question. This is the number found in the $CLIBD/syminfo.lib entry under 'symbol ccp4': begin_spacegroup number 5 b
