[CP2K:4828] harmonic constraint on collective variable

[Teodoro Laino]

Not entirely sure: but COLVAR used in constrained cannot be used in METADYN and vice versa.
Try removing FREE_ENERGY section and it should work.

Also, if you have more colvar you have to specify COLVAR in the COLLECTIVE section.
