SequenceServer tries to format impossible FASTA files

[yannickwurm]

Sequence detection type failed (because its part AA part NT in this file - which should never exist in reality) and it returned false, but Seqserv tried to format the db anyways.

SequenceServer has scanned your databases directory and will now offer
to convert FASTA files into BLAST databases. It will also offer to
reformat any old-format BLAST databases and those created without
the -parse_seqids option of makeblastdb (-parse_seqids option is
required for sequence retrieval to correctly work).

Note that reformatting process can be slow large BLAST databases and
fail if sequence identifiers are longer than 50 characters. While we
exepect the reformatting process to work in most other cases, things
can inevitably go wrong. Thus, please back up your databases before
reformatting and post any issues to our Google Group/GitHub so that
we can all learn from it.

Proceed? [y/n] (Default: y).
