ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence

Hi GFF3toolkit developers. I'd like to seek for your help on this issue. QC part went well, but running the fix step raises a ValueError exception. For reference, I'm attaching the gff file and the error.txt here.

Thank you.

Thanks for reaching out @sc-wenxinqiang ! Sorry that the error is so uninformative. The problem is that gff3-fix can't fix the Emr0003 errors (duplicate IDs), and those need to be fixed for it to handle the Ema0001 errors (Parent feature start and end coordinates exceed those of child features).

I looked at the gff file. How was this generated? It looks like most lines are duplicated and are out of order. I recommend that you re-generate it if you can - I'd be wary of having another program fix it if the gff file itself is broken to this degree.
