There is an issue with the version string from fastq-dump, at least in sratoolkit 2.11. The output of fastq-dump --version does not seem to contain a :
sratoolkit.2.11.0-ubuntu64/bin/fastq-dump --version
"sratoolkit.2.11.0-ubuntu64/bin/fastq-dump" version 2.11.0
This breaks the logic in sra.py for the version check
