This is a fairly trivial bug, but I thought I'd report it anyway (I'm not sure whether the problem is with the phenix.automr (rc6 build) or with all phaser implementations (the one included is: 2.1.1 so I've emailed both lists): when running phaser in data that was scaled in P 31 2 1, I used phenix.automr to automate MR searches in all spacegroups that are indistinguishable by systematic absences with: phenix.automr template.pdb final_P3121.sca RMS=1 mass=17000 rebuild_after_mr=False copies=1 use_all_plausible_sg=True The program correctly finds the solution in P3221 with a log likelihood gain of 1000 vs 20 for P3121, everything is fine in the outputted PDB CRYST1 line and MTZ; however the log file annoyingly mentions the spacegroup for the last time with "Final space group:P 31 2 1" even though elsewhere in the log file it correctly lists "SpaceGroup of Solution: P 32 2 1". I've excerpted the log file below. If this is the intended behaviour and not a bug, then I apologize but find it quite counterintuitive. Just a small bug, haven't seen if this behaviour occurs in other systematic absence-equivalent space groups.
