https://github.com/biopython/biopython_docker</a> repo, updated to Ubuntu 18.04 and Python 3.6. In doing so, I discovered that the download link for fdist2 is dead and there doesn't seem to be any other source for it online. Checking the other links it also

http://xxmotif.genzentrum.lmu.de</a> is down as well. The Bioconda package points to this github repo:
