[DFTB-Plus-User] DFTB v22.2 and v23.1

Dear Arun,

in 23.1 we introduced a new check to make sure, that people do not use 
SK-sets with range separated functionals, which are not compatible with 
it. Apparently, the check can not handle your case, where

RangeSeparated = None {}

is set, and interprets it as if some kind of range separated functional 
had been specified. Sorry for that, we'll fix it.

In the mean time, please delete this line from your input, then the 
program should work as supposed.

Best regards,

Bálint
