Error when running RagTag patch command

[Nguyen Vu Hung Anh]

Hello, I encountered this error when I attempted to run RagTag patch on my two fasta files.

(base) [ltlam@head01 data]$ ragtag.py patch \
 /datausers2/ibt/ltlam/data/inspector_corrected_scaffold.fa \
 /datausers2/ibt/ltlam/data/human/hg38.fa \ 
 -o /datausers2/ibt/ltlam/data/ragtag_polishing/ \
-w -t 56 --aligner /datausers2/ibt/ltlam/software/minimap2 \

At first, I thought maybe there was a problem within my input fasta file. However, it worked when I tried mapping them using minimap2, so I could not figure the problem out yet.

I figured that my reference file was not at the right size, so I tried re-downloading that file again, and everything works well now.
