custom db creation in 1.6.2 bug-locked

[xvazquezc]

Hi there,
I was trying to create a custom DB with the latest SILVA db for another program, but with MATAM v1.6.2 I ran into a bug that blocked its creation when running the matam_db_preprocessing.py script.

The error directly indicates the absence of the indexdb_rna before it even tries to index the actual db. It literally just prints:

No valid binary found for indexdb_rna

Switching to MATAM v1.6.0 solves the issue. All installations performed with conda in Ubuntu 22.04

I thought I should let you know.

Cheers,
Xabi

apparently the conda recipe for MATAM v1.6.2 in bioconda doesn't have the SortMeRNA version pinned anymore, so at the moment it installs v4.x which is not currently compatible. Forcing the SortMeRNA version in the conda installation command should fix this:

conda install -c bioconda matam sortmerna==2.1b
