Conda installation of trim_galore uses really old version of cutadapt

[vkkodali]

Installing trim_galore using conda installs v1.18 of cutadapt when the latest version is 4.4:

cutadapt           bioconda/linux-64::cutadapt-1.18-py37h14c3975_1

Can you please update the conda recipe to install a more up-to-date version of cutadapt?

As far as I can see the version of Cutadapt has nothing to do with the Trim Galore recipe on bioconda:

https://github.com/bioconda/bioconda-recipes/blob/master/recipes/trim-galore/meta.yaml

Indeed, when running mamba install trim-galore into a brand new environment I just got the following:

trim_galore: version 0.6.10
...
Cutadapt version: 4.4
single-core operation.
igzip command line interface 2.30.0
igzip detected. Using igzip for decompressing

What did you do?

Thanks, apparently the conda installation on our work machines is ancient (4.8.2). That's the reason why it was defaulting to an older version of cutadapt. I was able to fix it by using the latest version of miniconda.
