TEdenovo Blaster step 2 raise an error :Exception: ERROR when launching 'LaunchBlasterInParallel.py

I am running a TEdenovo analysis in the docker container where the REPET pipeline is installed on it with all the dependencies. when running the step 2 sequence blasting analysis;

TEdenovo.py -P DmelChr4 -C TEdenovo.cfg -S 2 -s Blaster

I receive this error at the end:

I wouldn't expect it to be the software installation fault cause I have not done it myself, unless there is a bug, or could it be related to my input data? I preprocessed my fasta file before running the analysis to create the 60 nt per line format:

PreProcess.py -S 1 -i input.fa -v 3

should I have done anything else that I didn't?

te docker tedenovo repet

I think the reason was the "copy" option inside the TEdenovo.cnfg file which was "yes", although I had defined the tempdir path for it, apparently it didn't work properly, once I changed the copy option on "no" the step 2 of Blaster analysis was finished successfully.
