manage_blast_db does not allow for multiple nr "volumes"

[dr-joe-wirth]

My institution has nr downloaded in volumes (is that the right word?). The way that manage_blast_db is written, it will only check for nr.psq, nr.phr, and nr.pin when the specified database is nr.

I was able to use the flag --skip_checkdb to bypass that functionality, but I figured I'd bring this edge case to your attention.

Here is how the nr database that I have access to is structured:

nr.00.phd
nr.00.phi
nr.00.phr
nr.00.pin
nr.00.pog
nr.00.ppd
nr.00.ppi
nr.00.psq
nr.00.tar.gz
nr.00.tar.gz.md5
nr.01.phd
nr.01.phi
nr.01.phr
nr.01.pin
nr.01.pog
nr.01.ppd
nr.01.ppi
nr.01.psq
nr.01.tar.gz
nr.01.tar.gz.md5
nr.02.phd
nr.02.phi
nr.02.phr
nr.02.pin
nr.02.pog
nr.02.ppd
nr.02.ppi
nr.02.psq
nr.02.tar.gz
nr.02.tar.gz.md5
. . .
. . .
. . .
nr.55.phd
nr.55.phi
nr.55.phr
nr.55.pin
nr.55.pog
nr.55.ppd
nr.55.ppi
nr.55.psq
nr.55.tar.gz
nr.55.tar.gz.md5
nr.pal
nr.pdb
nr.pos
nr.pot
nr.ptf
nr.pto

I hope this helps.

Adding onto this to say that I am also in this position. Downloading the nr database in volumes like this is the NCBI recommended way to do it (see Getting the preformatted database files), so it would be nice to have it supported.
