Hi Gleb,
I too used to get the same error when I was generating GGA pseudo for
gold atom and then figured out it was a formatting error.
For ex., this input will generate pseudopotential but siesta will spit
out the error

Greetings, Siesta users!
Does anyone know how to deal with "You are using an old psedopotential
file. Siesta needs a newer version." error message? I am using
siesta-2.0.1 version and generated my pseudopotential files for Ge and
H using this version.
Thank you :)
