Thanks for your research on this issue.

I added a comment to the issue above where I've found a link inside the
bioconda metadata[1] (assuming this is what upstream was refereing to).
We can surely package where those meta.yaml files are pointing to but
see my comments.

It would be extremely helpful if we would find somebody at PacBio who
can explain the situation (Afif?  I know you said you are not using the
pb* software any more, but can you possibly help out?).  As I wrote on
Monday[2] I have another issue with a lib from there.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
