Placements failed

Hi,

when running BUSCO v5.1.0 (using it's biocontainer) I frequently get the following error message:

ERROR:  Placements failed. Try to rerun increasing the memory or select a lineage manually.

This happens both in online and offline mode, but not always for the same input data (i.e. for some input datasets this error occurs only in online or offline mode and works fine for the other). The memory is not the issue. Sepp throws the following error:

TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable

See also the attached log files. In this case, BUSCO was run using the following command:

busco --auto-lineage --offline --download_path busco_downloads --mode genome --in MEGAHIT-CAPES_S7.13.fa --cpu "8" --out "BUSCO" > MEGAHIT-CAPES_S7.13.fa_busco.log 2> MEGAHIT-CAPES_S7.13.fa_busco.err

Any idea where this error is coming from or how this can be solved?

Best regards Sabrina
