problems updating the database : HTTP Result: 501

[youngDouble]

Return Code HTTP Result: 501 when abricate-get_db --db ncbi even add --force:
1. abricate-get_db --db ncbi :

HTTP Result: 501

2. abricate-get_db --db card：

I think the bug appears in 89 lines of abricate-get_db ：89 my $ec = mirror($url, $dest);
Perhaps the current website no longer supports LWP::Simple::mirror, but I have no idea how to solve it

The problem is caused by an older version of the LWP::Simple module. It does not occur if version 6.43 of LWP::Simple is installed.

Were you able to solve this issue? I'm facing the same problem.

[youngDouble]

If it requires LWP::Simple version 6.43,abricate-get_db may not be able to correctly run (abricate version 1.0.1 installed with conda), because the latest version of the perl-lwp-simple module provided by bioconda is 6.39. Installing an older version of abricate may be helpful, but I have not tested it.

Hi, I meet the same issue. It can be solved by creating a dedicated conda environment and installing an old version of perl (let's say, v.5.26) at first, and then abricate (v.1.0.1).

I used the following code to solve the same issues:
micromamba install -c bioconda abricate
micromamba install -c bioconda perl-lwp-simple
micromamba install perl-LWP-Protocol-https

Thank you! I ran into this problem today and it was nice that it was already fixed.
