Description

Description of the bug

The current version is v1.3.2, the latest is v1.3.3. The new version came with a new database.

The best solution is probably to update to the latest version, but it could also be set to download the older database with --db_version iPHoP_db_Sept21_rw

Research direction

Begin by reproducing the database download for v1.3.2 and inspect the version and database selection path, then compare it with v1.3.3 and the --db_version iPHoP_db_Sept21_rw option. Done means the pipeline downloads the database matching its current version, or explicitly selects the older database when that option is used.
