[Wien] 'symmetry' in 12.1

After I run "x patchsymm" and rename test.struct_new to test.struct, and
then run "x symmetry", I get the following

>x symmetry
 gamma not equal 90
 alpha(3) .gt. 91.0; reset to 90.1
0.002u 0.005s 0:00.02 0.0%      0+0k 0+1io 0pf+0w


What does the above info mean?

The original (copied/pasted out of the Stefan's message) and the one
renamed from test.struct_new are attached here.
