Dear Maintainer,

Please provide autopkgtest for this package.

Nilesh,

I reached out to the upstream author for this package and didn't receive a response. It would appear that anyone who works on this bug will need knowledge of amino acids and protein functions.

The software hasn't been updated since 2019, so it may be an inactive project.
