[Wien] error in Vorb....uporb.def failed

x lapdwm -dn -c    #  I hope, these are just typos and you ran the 
correct command. (lapwdm)

Again, you have to look into all files/messages  created by such a step.
It is impossible that the dmatdn file is empty WITHOUT any informative 
message.

Eventually, you do not have case.vectordn   anymore (or an scratch,...)

If you have a case.dmatdn file from a previous saveed case (even at 
slightly different geometry/volume), use this.
Otherwise you have to    rm case.dmatup   (so no case.dmatup and dn) and 
continue with runsp  (without this file, the "orb" step should be 
stepped over).
