prokka uses tbl2asn, but apparently it expires every year

No idea how can we solve this from eb-side, we might have to reinstall prokka on a regular basis or manually download newer version of tbl2asn.

as far as I am aware, the latest version available for download doesn't seem to expire any more (or they changed the message text):

$ strings tbl2asn.old | grep "Please download the current version."

I've submitted a PR for the latest tbl2asn - not tested yet whether the expiration "feature" has disappeared.

@verdurin still looks good:

$ strings $EBROOTTBL2ASN/bin/tbl2asn | grep -i "download"
